Do you just take the gondola up and ski down? Wondering if downhill only set up is good to ski there or do I need a backcountry set up

Great to see you back. Really enjoy your films.

I'm looking to purchase a pair of cheap radios, the ones that don't need a licence. Do you know a store in Furano that would sell this style of radio? Thanks!

I think I saw you in their other shop in Asahikawa last year on one of the rainy days 😂 in feb.

How do you look? 😂 G'day from Tas Chuck!

Looks like a good shop. When you say “toe” what kind of toe are you referring to?

An interesting discussion. A very important point missed was a discussion about rocker. The growing increase in rocker, tip and rail, has made a HUGE effect on float as well as under foot #. If you took your 95 ski from 15 years ago and added the ton of rocker the big fat skies have(38-50% or more) you'd find they ski pow a whole lot better. Conversely, if you took all the massive rocker out of the big fatties they would ski not nearly as well.

What time of year was this?

Glopping is a result of walking around with your skis when one ought to be gliding.

Hey is Ken still guiding Furano ? I’m a kiwi heading over end of Dec 2024 . Blair

As I understand it "Russell" refers to the Russell snowplows used to clear railway tracks.

haven't summited this beauty yet, my last attempt was back in 2018 and had to turn back at 1500m. Gonna try to knock it out before 2025

It is clear that you are an expert skier. However your comments may influence skiers of less ability to choose 124's in either Furano or Niseko and that is fraught with danger. It's fine on piste, but in the trees, skiing the fall line? Great video but really needs a disclaimer. Although lesser skiers probably can't ski the fall line in trees.

Nobody can tell me the origins of russuru (Russell). It's an odd thing. A lot of Japanese lie to practice Russell to get in shape. Sometimes I'm lucky. My friends from Utah come to visit and they take care of all the trailbreaking. They are beasts and they set the steepest skin tracks. it's all I can do to keep them in sight. 🤣

I tell you that this is crap. If you don't have energy to hike so small amount of vertical then you shouldn't be doing it. Heliskiing in Hokkaido is for fat people. Just so damn awful.

"Just a wee drop" 😀

Cant wait to late Jan, will be there

See you this winter! We meet eachother at beer cellar Sapporo last winter. Take care from Paris, France <3

Yep paradise. Hopefully not too busy next season 😂

In about 20 weeks that snow will be back in business!

That place is beautiful! Awesome video

Good choice

You don’t actually have to pre-tension the clip before attaching to skis tail. Attach it a tad loose and then pull on the strap to get the tension you want.

Just what we needed a bit of skiing. Weather in Switzerland is awful 😞 btw those field earths in the show are something special as well.

Your jackson hole crew all love and use these pomocos (fyi, i do find I need to press them down once on the ski so snow doesn't get under and I also sometimes do the back clip off on the side then slip to the back as easier) enjoy!

Really good stuff on the skins. Feels like you’ve brought us along.

Let us know why skins you are using for the backcountry

Good review, met you this year in Furano, I’ll definitely be back, would love to see you show off some of the super light snow that Furano is famous for. 🙏✅

Great conditions!

Always happy to see you have a a new video when it pops up on my feed, hopefully a good end of the season with plenty of spring days like that

Excellent vid. Conditions are good here. Customers are happy.

Was this second week of January? I was there!! It was insane, also funny story, that guy we see at seven eleven freaked out on me because I forgot to take the lid off of the smoothie containers they sell. I messed up the machine pretty bad and he kept looking at me saying f%#k you!!!! 😂😂

When did this happen?

Howdy guys - nice film. We've been in Furano the last seven days and we're coming back next year as well. Planning to do Asahidake then. If you're in for the treelines only, Is it possible to do that from the top of the gondola or do you have to skin as well? Thanks

Loving the content

If you dont mind me asking, I see you are wearing orange jacket, yellow layer then another orange layer, do you have a base layer under the orange layer or is the orange piece your base layer?

Definitely the best yet ! ;-) Thanks CHUCK

Excellent! Our snowmobile business is doing good as well. It was a good business decision to find new terrain. Get away from the crowds and amateur guides. We’ll get some helicopter 🚁 access as well this season.

Very professional operation you got. I'd recommend my clients to you.

Great place to ski and board. A lifetime experience.

Awesome

Awesome!! Which route did you follow?

Thanks for filming another epic ski adventure. Ignore the negative.

We all know how easy it is to set a "steep" skin track in powder as the trail breaker....4/5th person maybe not that easy to follow. Set a track with recycling in mind :) Although it didn't actually look that steep...

Nice bamboo poles! Are they a thing in Japan?

Good stuff.

Tried to send msg on your website but haven’t heard anything back for a couple of weeks. What’s the best way for reaching you?

Amazing 🤩

Was that Yotei?

the forest looks like there arent any avalanches
