Naming a best ski resort in Japan is a big claim, but Rusutsu continuously makes into peoples favourite ski area. Preferences will vary for each person, depending on the type of terrain they like to ride and type of resort they prefer. However since we arrived at Rusutsu it has been an amazing and surreal experience.
The first thing you notice when arriving is a theme park, rollercoasters with loops and a ski resort spread out over many mountains including a gondola over the highway to take you from the east to west side of the resort. The inside of the resort is filled with some wacky theme park features and attractions, and the architecture is not traditional in the slightest. There aren't many really steep areas on the mountain and the peaks generally max out under 1000m, which considered globally is very low.
Having said that there is something about the resort that is very intriguing. The spacing of the trees is perfect, and if you have been snowboarding in Japan you will notice that even resort to resort the vegetation and spacing varies drastically, and in my opinion this has to take the cake, at least from the ones I have seen so far.

Wow the bluebird day looks amazing!
Ya got one blue bird day so nice
Yeah we got one blue bird and one stormy powder day, both fantastic for different reasons
Nice video and perspective on Rusutsu Chris. When I make it there, Rusutsu is on the top of my list of places to hit. Nice content 👍
Thanks Rob, Rusutsu and Hanazono are my two favs so far
Yesss on the list for sure
Awesome video man. I like other youtubers as well, but you definitely bring it in a way that 90% of the snowboarders can relate without back flips or crazy jumps that is out of the ability of most people. Thanks again.
Thanks Cookie Cracker. I know I can improve my riding skills but I do hope to "keep things real." Are you biking in the summer?
@@ChrisEyres I have been long boarding safely, and Monday I will get my electric longboard. I am in NJ, but going to Savannah, GA tomorrow for two months. Hopefully the resorts will open in the north east to be able to snowboard again. I am 50 years and I am really bad at it, but still love it.
what a daaay!!! good times
Haha, wrong video, Whistler opened today!? Just messing, definitely one of my favorite days in recent memories
Rusutsu has not as much chairlift as Niseko, but is well known for tree riding. BTW, the blue sky is so so beautiful
Thx Chris
Came for snowboarding...left with life advice: "do the cleaning and then eat the cake. Then the hard work is done". Both the advice and snow are sooooo deeeeeeep
Also a correlation of riding on the edge for both
Well done! Nice to see "Chrisis snowboarding" :o)
Hes back at it woooo
Love this one man, keep them coming!!!
Such an entertaining vid
The start of an album.....?
great video! amazing day! Enjoy the trip and keep up the great work!
Yeesss need more videos
Man those views at the top of the mountain look all time!
All time
@@ellstackeradventures glad you're loving life out there buddy. Those turns in the powder look divine
With the view of the volcano in the background too... So good
Nice bluebird day natural features look sweet👌. Riding with the Roxy crew! Nice work 👌👌Look after that knee bro....🏂🏂
Yewwww
Thanks Badger man, took a rest day today for a little r&r, it's hard though cause the conditions are so good atm
I agree, this is a quality resort. and a quality edit too
Yooooo
@@ellstackeradventures game time lets gooo
How good was the two days there?! So much fun
Great video, and love (but jealous) watching you guys in JP. Was in Hakuba riding 4 years ago, and planning on a 2021 trip to Niseko and Rusutsu. Pick up some Royce Chocolate, it will blow your mind!
I'm gonna keep my eyes peeled, hope you make it out here
Schokoladen Burg from Karuizawa will blow that chocolate to shame. believe me.
I want to go there next trip
Haha, you just left. But it's not a bad ieea
Rusutsu looks awesome Chris. Rest that knee up though... Ice & compression 😁
Thanks, we had a down day yesterday so I had a chance to rest it
They have been riding soooo much
Hey Chris, I seriously love your vids man. Sooo glad you're back!! Keep it up! By the way, which Oakley Goggle and Lens are you wearing? So dope
Im not sure
Thanks so much, glad I can convey that in the vids for you. I use Oakley Air Brake with Hi Pink lens
@@ChrisEyres Thanks Chris!!
Yo,Japow is so beautiful, so relaxing 🤙
Glad you got that impression, it totally felt like that, especially that day
“Take it easy on my knees today” then launches off a kicker lol
killin it man
Thanks! 🙏🙏
Damm Chris! your injured knee style is dope
Lol
If only she was performing at 💯
Chris, if your knee is bothering you, trying wearing G-Form knee pads. They will provide stability for your knees and keep them really warm, which will promote blood flow and healing. Snowboarding with them actually made my bad knees better.
I will check them out. Before my injury I used indoor volleyball pads which I loved. I usually ride with my expensive knee brace which is great for stability but doesn't help too much with warmth unfortunately
@@ChrisEyres I hope they work as well for you as they have for me. My knees got really bad before the start of the season and I wasn't sure if I would be able to snowboard at all. I could barely walk at times. But my knees feel just fine snowboarding with my trusty G-Form knee pads. And I noticed that my knees would feel really good for up to a couple of days after snowboarding with them. With just about 30 days of riding this season so far, my knees seem to be almost 100% again. Snowboard therapy?
Gotta love the Roxy girls
Some of my favourite shots are when you film parallel on a run, looks awesome 🤙🏻
Did I mention Roxy girls 👌🏻😂
Did you mention the Roxy girls. Search summer fenton and subscribe if you like
Yessss so great
Cheers, will do 🤙🏻
love music in this video Great taste. I was in japan around the same time you were and also hit rusutsu and niseko. I hope I see you next time!
hope so too! thanks for the comment, i had a neighbor tell me about nozawa onsen, sounds beautiful
While you are in Japan, you should take the crew to try the Stancer testing device at local snowboard shop! スタンサー
It would be cool to try it out. I'll have a look next time we're in town
:)
Hey Chris, we will be in Rusutsu in jan next year. Where is the best to take an appartment/hotel on a budget? We will be moving with public transport. Many thanks for any tips!
Hey! This is some great quality video. What kind of camera do you use?!
Thanks! There is a mix of gopro 7 & 8s. Most was filmed in my old 7, but the bits with Kevin, or where we were riding together was on his 8. Thanks for the comment 🙏🏂
Never done boardin through trees..any training drills to get the feel for it before I try it ?
Can't wait to get my house in Niseko!
Such a nice place, wish I could go back? Which is your favourite resort/ area?
@@ChrisEyres So far, Rusutsu is my favorite. However, Hanazono made some changes that could change my mind.
Hi, can you tell me somes good hotels near the ski station with a cheap price? For 3 persons. Not so small, around 20m2 it's ok. Also if I can with family and small childrens, they can play in the station, I mean there is some good activities for childrens 6 years? Thanks for your answer
Sorry I cannot, we didn't stay there. I just rode at the resort. It has a lot of stuff to keep the kids occupied
Hey chris
Did your epic pass actually work at the lifts. Or did you need to get a different pass from the counter to use as the epic pass for the day?
You have to go to the ticket office and they give you a 5 day replacement pass
hello chris fantastic video ...... what snow did you use in japan
Snowboard? Mostly the Jones Storm Chaser
hi @@ChrisEyres I would like to buy a powder table and I would be undecided between Capita SLUSH SLASHER 151cm and K2 cool bean 150cm. which one would you recommend between the two
African music in the first part was combined very interesting.
I hope you are digging it
Hey Chirs! You posted the wrong link to your Jones Snowboard. Which model/size is that?
Thanks I'll check it, I use a Jones Storm Chaser 157
storm chaserカッコいい🥰🏂
🙏👍🏂
Kevin’s here? Awesome!
Kevin will just rock up behind you next time you're riding, that dude gets around... Well at least pre lockdown times
Don’t see Summer”s TH-cam link ?
It's been non-stop here Wayne. If you search Summer Fenton you will find her, but I will put up a link post haste
What board are you on?
WHAT SONG IS THE SECOND ONE? Please I need to know lol
Okay gimme a bit, it's on my computer and in not at home, I'll try to remember to out them in the description from now on
Thanks and yeah that's smart cuz that's where I looked first
no mean to disrespect but you clearly haven't seen many resorts to call a resort the best ski resort in Japan, the central and north part of Hokkaido has amazing resorts without crowds. Also The Japanse alps are pretty insane too. But like i said, no mean to disrespect, Japan rules!
Power Buses Only
will get a roxy jacket next
Yeah the ladies were looking great
#SummerFenton
She's got some pretty rad filming parts
所々 ゲレンデから出てback countryしてる様ですが。2年前とはいえこのvideo見ている海外の方へ。covid19前、backcountry skiingで年に数回海外の方の事故がありました。Official Rescueは日本人の税金で賄っています。
難しい事言います。ちゃんと訳して下さい。日本列島は「新期造山帯」に属しています。山の形態は「尾根」と「沢」が数十メートルで繰り返し、1度違う沢に入ると「自分の位置」が分からなくなります。(谷川岳が世界一、死者数が多い山なの
わかりますか？)「古期造山帯・フィヨルド地形」のヨーロッパ、アメリカとは違うのです！
BackCountry,止めて下さい！！
この記事書いた30分後、北海道で外国人の方、backcountryで亡くなりました。御冥福をお祈りします。ただ、止めて欲しかった。
Thanks for sharing
Would travel to Japan just to ride that Gully. 10/10 would slash that gully
Haha nice, you should, I will send directions on how to get there
Dude you are suppose to keep the secret .... 🤦🏻♂️
Oh dangggggg, I was told to pay it forward
Looks like garbage terrain!
Terrain is definitely on the mellow side, but that’s general the case on Hokkaido
