We woke up to hear that 80cm to a full meter had fallen in Hakuba. Lisa, Amanda, Kate and I hustled up to the base to get tickets and got on line for the gondola. We waited for almost an hour while our other friends were at Iimori. When we heard it wasn't opening until 10am we went over Iimori to find that lift hadn't opened either.
day 5.. eaglecrest opened yesterday but i had to work.. went up today and everyone who did both days said today was better. heavy snow, dumping all day, pretty wet, but sick. pow. wasnt even close to how everyone said it was a few days ago. rode with richie, mark, and makai. ive only ridden with makai a handful of times cause theyre usually out sledding.. but heres a switch 5 tap.
went from 6" up top and nothing at the base to 14" up top ant 6" at the base, overnight. classic northwest mid-weight pow.. awesome snow. we werent out there for long but i rode pow in the winter sunset, so i cant complain.
the video isnt very exciting, but of course i had to make something for day one.. my camera is part of my identity!
