Seems like a lot of Hokkaido is low angle glades. It looks fun as hell, but not a lot of steeps. You are correct though I can ride way stepper stuff, faster, with a lot of powder.
@@ejhayes76 To be honest, I suck on the non-steep stuff. It is way to hard. Steep and fast is the way to go. It is amazing how fast one can actually go and still be in control. Have a happy holidays.
Furano is cold. Much colder than Niseko. It averages about 8 meters of snow a winter whilst Niseko up to Kiroro and Kokusai along the Nakayama mountain range averages 12-14m. Furano is better for back country touring in my opinion but it’s definitely not a powder mountain secret. You spent two thirds of the video stuck in trees. Furano is not great for tree skiing. Different type of trees grow there.
Depends on your ability but Asahidake off the Gondola can be amazing. Backside of Sapporo Kokusai is a great introduction and the Tokachi mountain ranges with a guide is awesome. I would not be going backcountry around Niseko or southern Hokkaido right now the weather is running hot and cold. The snowpack could be very unstable.
I am on the way to Furano! I super hyped!! Thxs for the video!
You must had a blast. The decembers storms looked craaazy
recommendations like this i like, youtube !
Great video mate 🔥
Thanks for sharing! I would love to visit Japan some day and shred at Furano!!!
Great video! I wish I had your skills in the trees !
Maybe I will have the chance to say hello to you and your mates next japanuary.
Those trees look fairly well spaced out and forgiving if you bump them.
Siiiickkkkk
Sick pow day!
so good
Which part of furano in this video?
Furano side or Kitanomine side?
was this late 23 you went there or earlier? we might head up that way shortly
Hows the Gentemstick man? Im about to get a chaser HP for Japan in Jan!
that's some deep pow. How do you like the Gentemstick? Have you ridden Moss snowsticks?
Isn't it still mostly closed in Furano?
This was last season. Will be back there in a couple weeks though!
In future vids could you stand in the run and give the viewers something to reference the steepness of the slope
Nice video!! Similar style to my channel so nice to see 🤙
Not steep enough in my opinion. You will be amazed of how fast you can ride in powder.

Any recommendations where to go for first time (for backcountry?) niseko seems impossible to book

Furano or Rusutsu ?
Same question
When we go next year, we will have a car and do both.
