What’s happening today
Although we have not had a lot of new snow in the last 24 hours we have have quite a bit of wind especially at higher elevations which means deep wind blown powder stashes can be found amongst the trees. Hanazono ski ground is where we are heading today, a few high speed turns down the freshly groomed Yotei Sunset run and will then look for wind blown stashes off Renraku , Crystal Dream and Legend of Shinya.
Mizu no Sawa
If you haven’t had the chance to check out Mizu no Sawa at Niseko Village definitely worth a look here are a few images from earlier in the week.
Mt. Yotei has been looking very nice and can’t wait to get up there soon – saw some very nice lines up there Monday afternoon.
If you have never climbed Mt. Yotei why not contact one of the local guiding companies such as Niseko Xtreme or Shinsetsu-mountain-guides and get up and down safely.
