Gomen-nasai (ゴメンナサイ) ! - Japon 2011

We were keen on trying out the Japanese powder. Therefore we flew to Hokkaido for 2 weeks. Our base camps were settled in Niseko and Asahidake, but when you are in Japan you need to remain flexible and follow the snow clouds. We experienced some resort skiing in Kokusai, Kiroro, Asahidake, Furano and put on the skins to climb Mt Yotei, Chisenanapuri and Mt Asahidake.

Sum up of our trip into sushi land ! 11 days of ski, 19 days in total (visiting Tokyo at the end) Locasion in order : Annapuri - Niseko - Hirafu - Rusutsu - Moiwa - Furano - Mont Asahidake

Sammy Carlson, Dane Tudor, and Mike Henitiuk are in Niseko, Japan challenging what’s possible on skis in pillows and powder. Dane steps onto the ‘Stairway to Hell’, one of the boldest lines we’ve ever seen.

December 2015 : No snow in France, we made a bet on Japan. No more snow on Honshu island because of El nino, a lot of touring, and finally some heavy snowfall on Hokkaido... Special thanks : -Panda Poles -Shot bar love, Myoko Akakura Onsen, Niigata -Villa Chamois, Myojo Akakura Kanko, Niigata
