Day 16 of Season 24/25. After years of wanting to ride Geto Kogen, finally got to do it. This place got 17m of snow this season (not all of it still here). It did not disappoint.

Back from my first snow trip for this season, filmed a few runs on my Insta360 only to discover the videos show up on the device, but are not visible on the SD card. Reddit search shows many posts with similar issues but with no real solution. So I rolled up my digital sleeves ...

Just finished Exit 8 for the first time after hours of trying. What an eerily accurate depiction of a Tokyo subway station from hell. Clean and immaculate and frustratingly disorientating.
