Fuuuuuuuuuuuu makes me want to get back out there SO BAD.

Wicked edit dude.

Dropping Miharashi at night in a storm has to be some of the more outrageous skiing I've ever done.

Gotta ask the question... how many ropes were skirted in the making of that?

@Rozboon not as many as you might think!

We got in trouble for jumping off the King Pair lift but everything else was fairly legit. Mostly filmed around Super ridge. There was a bit of creative skiing 'around the rope' but it's pretty much all in bounds.

Thanks for the feedback though guys. The nights we filmed on weren't even the deepest of the season. I had one night skiing on my own in Miharashi almost drowning, wishing someone was there with a camera.

Just wondering, did the earthquake effect anybody in the mountains at all? So much pow..... and this may be a really dumb question when you can ski that but do they have a park, or good spots to build bc booters?

It didn't damage anything in Niseko as far as I'm aware. The people I know there said they felt the tremor though.

As far as parks go; there are 2 parks although they aren't massive and building booters in the back country, there are plenty of spots you could go.

I know googling the amount of snowfall Japan gets in a season is too dificult for you. But yes, it's quite usual as they get 600 ish inches over a shorter season than the US typically..........

Haha. Nice.

Just watched it again, SO much nostalgia, god damn. Prolly gonna book 6 weeks out there from about boxing day, hopefully be cheapness with all the nuclear/earthquakey goodness out there right now.

I wish Hanazono had lights. The whole area around Hanazono 1 would be so, so sick at night.

As already mentioned, Hokkaido felt the earthquake, but no damage up here.

Although it has meant fewer tourists since, so more pow for those of us that are still around!

Oh, and sweet vid!
