Day 76 Nozawa Awesome #powder day yesterday due to the large dump that happened from 4AM after the rain the day before. My buddy and I participated with 15 others in the free monthly first track event. It was a blast. ⛷️⛷️⛷️ #ski #skiing #japan #japow #snow #nozawa #nagano #nozpow

Day 70 Ryuoo Really great on-piste conditions yesterday, and the side-country also improved a lot. The three day weekend has every resort super crowded, though, so I got in the first tracks and out asap. ⛷️⛷️⛷️ #ski #skiing #japan #japow #snow #ryuoo #kitashiga #nagano #yamanouchi

Day 69 Ryuoo I forgot to take a video or photos yesterday so I’m posting a prior photo from Ryuoo… it was a very short day as I had some errands. This photo is from December 17th at the top of #Kiotoshi. ⛷️⛷️⛷️ #ski #skiing #japan #japow #snow #ryuoo #kitashiga #nagano #yamanouchi

Day 68 Shiga Kogen The #powder this morning was knee deep and extremely light. I met with a guide company owner and he told me that the snow depths are getting to deadly (literally) levels in the tree runs. ⛷️⛷️⛷️ #ski #skiing #japan #japow #shigakogen #nagano #yamanouchi

Day 67 Madarao/Tangram Super fun day right after the nightly powder dump that’s been happening for the past week. Especially enjoyed getting in first tracks on #JackDownhill’s thigh deep #powder. ⛷️⛷️⛷️ #ski #skiing #japan #japow #snow #nagano #niigata #iiyama #myoko #madapow #madarao #tangram

Day 66 Ryuoo Very crowded today despite the additional 40cm of accumulation overnight. Skied #Kiotoshi, the kilometer plus long 36° powder chute and it was probably my best run this season… so far… ⛷️⛷️⛷️ #ski #skiing #japan #japow #snow #ryuoo #kitashiga #nagano #yamanouchi

Day 65 Alpen Blick Myoko We got between 40 and 60 cm of powder overnight. The powder was quite heavy (for Japan) in the morning but got easier to ski by 10AM. It was a blast skiing in the trees and the side country all day! ⛷️⛷️⛷️ #ski #skiing #japan #japow #myoko #niigata #alpenblick #ikenotaira

Day 64 Alpen Blick Myoko Yesterday started off with hard-packed pistes and no fresh snowfall in several days. By 10AM the blizzard started and by noon I switched to powder skies. It was an amazing experience. ⛷️⛷️⛷️ #ski #skiing #japan #japow #myoko #niigata #alpenblick #ikenotaira

Day 60 Shiga Kogen Crazy blizzard shut down almost all of the lifts yesterday except for two at #Kumanoyu. Ended up skiing for four runs and then giving up for the superb hot springs here which are literally the color green. ⛷️⛷️⛷️ #ski #skiing #japan #japow #shigakogen #nagano #yamanouchi

Day 58 Ryuoo It was a holiday Tuesday yesterday and there were lots of families about despite the blizzard that gave us an amazing dump overnight again. Managed to get the first runs in, though so it was a superb day. ⛷️⛷️⛷️ #ski #skiing #japan #japow #snow #ryuoo #kitashiga #nagano #yamanouchi

Day 57 Alpen Blick Myoko Catching up on posts grom the past two days. The day before yesterday was amazing at Myoko. The #powder was super light and just the right amount for fun frolicking 😂 And crowds were minimal, too! ⛷️⛷️⛷️ #ski #skiing #japan #japow #myoko #niigata #alpenblick #ikenotaira

Day 56 Ryuoo Despite the #snowpocalypse that dumped several feet of snow, Ryuoo was way too crowded yesterday so I was unable to shoot any decent video while skiing. Here’s the view from the lift instead. ⛷️⛷️⛷️ #ski #skiing #japan #japow #snow #ryuoo #kitashiga #nagano #yamanouchi

Day 55 Alpen Blick Myoko Yesterday was part of this multi-day snowstorm that is making this one of the best seasons I’ve skied in several years. It was -11°C, which allowed the abundant powder to stay soft and light all day. ⛷️⛷️⛷️ #ski #skiing #japan #japow #myoko #niigata #alpenblick #ikenotaira

Day 52 Ryuoo Conditions were surprisingly good on piste this morning since there was far less snow at Ryuoo than forecasted. The pistes were super soft and there was still lots of light fluffy #powder in the side country. ⛷️⛷️⛷️ #ski #skiing #japan #japow #snow #ryuoo #kitashiga #nagano #yamanouchi

Day 51 Ryuoo About 30cm fell in 90 minutes this morning at the beginning of the giant cold front that’s moving in. Bottom of Ryuoo is relatively low around here so it was amazing to have so much #powpow so quickly. ⛷️⛷️⛷️ #ski #skiing #japan #japow #snow #ryuoo #kitashiga #nagano #yamanouchi

Day 50 Ryuoo Yay! Got to half a hundred days. The students are out in force now as everyone is on school holidays. Was able to get my runs in early, though and the pistes were terrific. Huge snowfall coming up soon, too! ⛷️⛷️⛷️ #ski #skiing #japan #japow #ryuoo #kitashiga #nagano #yamanouchi

Day 47 Shiga Kogen There was 40cm of fresh powder at #Yakebitai yesterday. It was snowing hard for several hours after the 3AM groomers did their thing so the entire resort was one big powder puff. What a perfect day☃️ ⛷️⛷️⛷️ #ski #skiing #japan #japow #shigakogen #nagano #yamanouchi

Day 45 Ryuoo Weather was surprisingly good all morning despite the forecast for heavy snow and high winds. The hard packed snow with about 5cm of fresh light powder in upper area at 1900m was just perfect. ⛷️⛷️⛷️ #ski #skiing #japan #japow #ryuoo #kitashiga #nagano #yamanouchi

Day 43 Ryuoo Great morning with perfect pistes and almost no one else on the slopes. After my #sempai gave me some tips for the #Ogasaka skis I was able to carve turn low enough to touch the slope with my hand during the turns. ⛷️⛷️⛷️ #ski #skiing #japan #japow #ryuoo #kitashiga #nagano #yamanouchi
