Day 35 - Ichinose Diamond and more - Skied with friends who came up from Karuizawa and had a fantabulous day with powder that was out of this world!!!
The powder was super light and it snowed for hours and hours. I skied 19 runs, 23.4 km and did my first run on #Giant of the season. Today was an outrageously good day. Can’t wait for tomorrow!#skiing #shigakogen #IchinoseDiamond #nagano #japan #japow #ski #shigapow #skiresortporn #yamanouchitown

Day 32 - Hoppo Bunadaira - Such a fun day teaching three kids how to ski better. They’re working at Shibu Onsen at a really famous ancient ryokan for months and didn’t understand that we have Japan’s largest and highest altitude ski resort right in town. I skied 4 runs, 6 km.

Day 31 - Terakoya - Stunningly beautiful day all day. My buddies came up from Karuizawa and we had perfect fluffy powder and firm but super soft pistes on Bunadaira, Nishitate, Higashitate, Takamagahara, and Terakoya. It was a real joy. I skied 12 runs, 18.4 km.

Day 30 - Hoppo Bunadaira - spent the night at a great inn that is only accessible via skis or snowcat/snowmobile, and woke up to 40+cm of fresh fluffy goodness and heavy snow falling. It was a short day due to an afternoon commitment but I skied 9 runs, 14.9 km.

Day 29 - Nishitateyama and more - Packed my small backpack and on my first run checked in to an inn on the ski runs. I ended up skiing the most of any day this season going from Yamanoeki all the way to Okushiga. It was cloudy cold and surprisingly uncrowded despite being the middle of a three day weekend. I skied 20 runs, 32 km.

We skied Nishitate, Bunadaira, Higashitate, Terakoya, Takamagahara, Tannenomori, Ichinose Family… and back. It was a picture perfect powder filled day. I skied 17 runs, 24.7 km.

Day 27 - Okushiga Kogen - This was January 4th. It was snowing hard when I arrived but not really blizzard conditions. The powder was starting to pile up and it was really great to have fresh snow but visibility was low and I had to get back for a meeting so I only skied 3 runs, 8.1 km. The downhill course opened as well so I got my first run of the season there, too.

Day 26 - Hoppo Bunadaira - Today was super beautiful and Terakoya opened! Yay! There was shallow shin-deep but light & nice powder throughout the area. Higashidate was also great! I skied 10 runs, 14.1 km.

Day 23 - Hoppo Bunadaira - (sorry for the lack of updates these past few days) This is from December 31st. Big rain the night before destroyed the pistes but at least there were no rocks. I skied 8 runs, 9.4 km.

Day 20 - Hoppo Bunadaira - such a difference a day makes. It was terrific at Bunadaira for their opening day. Though the snow depth is very shallow the pistes were extremely fast💨 I also got a couple runs in at Nishidate as well. I skied 8 runs, 10.1 km.

Day 19 - Okushiga - It was cold, cloudy, and crowded yesterday so I retreated quickly to the hotel lounge and then the restaurant. The bit of fresh snow was nice, though. I only skied 2 runs, 5.9 km. It was too crowded so I didn’t take a video.

Day 15 - Kumanoyu - Thank you Snow Gods❣️ Fifty cm of fluffy stuff fell last night and this morning. I moved from my early season skies to the Rossignol Super Virage Versatiles which are decent on this type of powder and piste mix. Hope it stays cold so we can get past the forecast stretch of no snow weather over the next ten or so days. I skied 7 runs, 9.2 km.

Day 14 - Kumanoyu - Best conditions so far this season… about 30cm of the lightest fluffiest powder you can imagine. I had errands to take care of again today so I couldn’t ski that much but I got in 5 runs and skied 6.9 km. It’s gonna snow more tonight. All hail the snow gods 🙏

Day 13 - Yakebitai - I couldn’t update this yesterday due to meetings and an event. Yay! Snowing hard and an additional run opened up at Yakebitai. Unfortunately I had a meeting to attend so it was a short day. Skied 4 runs, 4.2 km. Really looking forward to skiing today with all the new pow.

Drove the #Kusatsu- #ShigaKogen route, the highest national road in #Japan, today.
It was 2C at the peak at #Yokoteyama.
This road is closed for much of the year due to heavy snow.
It’s mostly beautiful, but really bleak at points, particularly near Mt #Shirane, a very active volcano.
