For me the coldest was a trip to Lake Louise. -37 degrees

Yes.... Europe is the place to shi...

I agree with what you said about North America skiing.. Thinking about Japan and New Zealand skiing.

I didn’t know there is a Vancouver Mural app. Good to know!

Coldest place i ever skied was 2019 in Zauchensee (Austria)

2:14 you and me both buddy, you and me both 🤣🤣🤣 Great video, thanks for sharing this experience. Your sense of humor is great!

Niseko is one of the best powder mountains in the world. The apres ski scene is getting better all the time for younger people , but currently it’s probably the best family destination as Japan is so safe and clean generally.

Engaging for the almighty algorithm. Sick content Man! Was in Asahikawa earlier this year, they have the best Penguin walk at their zoo in the world. A momentary sense of freedom for the poor animals..

Aww, wow. This is awesome. I hope you didn't miss the Tombstone National Park and Klaune National Park.

This is the first video I've seen of this channel (as I'm planning a trip to Niseko in February). Thank you so much for your content! Love the dry delivery of humor as well as your rankings of useful categories. Also 100% on the American/Canadian crowds and prices being nuts. Crowds especially ruin skiing on peak days (I live in Seattle), but mid-week skiing is a lot of fun.

Where were those barriers at 11:30 ??

How did you get from the area with the sake back to gala to take the train?

Really enjoy your posts. We have a trip planned to Japan this year and were booked for Yuzawa. Hotel there was hard to book and eyewateringly expensive. After watching this, have just booked a hotel in Nagano instead and booked a rental car at Times. Such a great idea, would never have thought of this. Thanks for the great idea. Lucky in New Zealand we drive on the left so that is not a problem! Would really like to see a detailed video on fields in Nagano. Been there a couple of times, only Haukuba.

@TheslipperySlope can you give an estimate on budgeting for a 2 week ski trip in Japan? We are a group of 6 traveling from Vancouver island. Plan on following your guidance and staying in nearby cities and not on resort. Great information and video quality. I love the Yukon and liked your video from the cabin.

Great video! What month did you travel this road?

I'd love to try japan but its so far from Europe and expensive to get too ,disappointed the lift infrastructure is a bit dilapidated must be the aging population i think that's beginning to show itself in Europe now too and the fact they don't take holidays in Japan how can they attract crowds to cover the operating costs .

As long as you can walk away from a landing it was not a shitty landing 😂

Having skied all the regions and most if not all the places you have mentioned I would agree with your assessment and pretty much everything you have said....and love the F-Bombs

Just wondering since there's an option to pay when you pick up the car, can you also pay everything in cash (fee + deposit)?

Excellent summary. As Europeans, we normally ski locally, but every ten years or so, we treat ourselves to a North American trip. In 2023/24, we went to Utah and Colorado. We bought the Epic Pass about 9 months in advance which made the cost for ten days skiing slightly lower than Val D’Isere/Tignes. We skied Park City/Canyons, then drove to Moab for some weekend hiking before going on to Frisco where we skied Vail, Breckenridge and Keystone. I LOVE Europe, but for me, America is better. It’s the snow. It wasn’t a vintage season, but the cold, light, dry white stuff simply makes skiing more fun. In Utah, we read the grooming report each morning and headed for the black diamonds that had been pisted overnight. I’ve skied all over Europe and South America since 1975, but carving empty groomers through the trees at Canyons is as good as anything I’ve ever done. In Colorado, the Back Bowls at Vail and Imperial at Breck were fabulous, and impossible to replicate safely (without a guide) in Europe. For historic charm, Park City is at least as lovely as the classic alpine towns (Chamonix, Cortina, Zermatt, St Anton etc) with excellent food and shopping options. Finally, you can talk to strangers on those slow old lifts in America!

Whistler is expensive I agree I’m going to Hokusai in feb will be skiing would love to buy a pair of googles

wow so much complaining! Great stay away from Japan and leave more snow for us who enjoy Japan a lot more than you. I live in Canada and the snow here cannot be compared to the quality of Japan.

more of these!

all the resorts in the area of nagano

Nagano resort video please! Just stumbled upon your channel researching a Japan trip, the humor, editing and quality is on point. Subscribed.

I would also love to get your insight into the ski areas around Nagano. Headed there in February for five days. Thank you for sharing your experiences!

How tall are you? Does the driver have a comfortable amount of leg space?

なんだこの外人。セーラー服と機関銃歌ってんじゃねーかよ。わけわかんない。（笑）

Very Very helpfull video (especiallya as I'm thinking of heading to Sapporo)! Out of interest, what do you think of Bankei?

imperial put us on the moon.

great video! going to Hakuba Japan this winter in January, hoping for endless Japow. will be there for 11 ski days so really hope we get much snow!

Great video! Have you ever met anyone who applied for city flying permits? Cheers!

Amazing video!!

very informative the best tutorial ever about drone in japan

Excellent comparison…couldn’t agree more!

Thanks for sharing

😂 the hole!!

I’m gonna saved this for reference thank you you’re funny! 🎉

In the last few weeks I’ve gotten a drone then decided to take a trip to Japan for snowboarding and then just stumbled upon this vid, glad I did too

The lines for anything in the US are horrible. The line to the woman’s restroom is always bad. 😂

4:11 Oida 😂😂😂

First :) After seeing registration process, looks like the whole Japan is no fly zone for me, lol :)

Cooles Video Hazel. Und jetzt bitte alles in Deutsch🇩🇪

Great job man. Just today, 9/19/24, I finally booked my first trip to Chamonix. I am beyond excited, and doing all the research I can. The Vallee Blanche is on the list of must do. I might get in touch with Tom. Thanks for some actual "ski-bum" personality, many videos are not skiers, just tourists. But oh well, I live in the mega tourist town of Breckenridge, CO, and see many people at least enjoying themselves. Again, great job, I enjoyed this video.

well done sir

スキー場のコース以外で滑りたいのなら日本には来なくて良いです、来るな!😠

Great video, first mention I have heard about chairlifts in Japan, very informative

Did you use the Mountainbike kit or the skiing kit cause don’t like holding the stick when I ski

RE: your preference for a rustic, smaller hut experience at ~3:45 -- You should visit Mt. Hood Skibowl! There's a small hut at the base of the Upper Bowl that you'd enjoy! There's only 6 or 7 tables in the whole building, and there's a large central table with stools that encourages more of a communal experience! You need to go to smaller, less built out resorts to get that experience in North America, but it exists somewhere! Slow chairs at Skibowl, but great terrain!

why was there even a white line, in summer ?!
