DEEPER than the SNOW REPORT🔥 - POV Skiing in Japan

After 2 weeks of no snowfall, we got fresh pow again!
With 7cm on the snow report, we set out to find deeper and we certainly did so.

7cm over a crusty base made for some sketchy snow conditions. However, Max and I were able to use our knowledge of the weather and mountain to find the deepest snow possible. We still ran into some wind affected terrain but were able to find some secret pow stashes hidden in plain sight.

Ever wondered what skiing in Japan is like over an entire winter season?

Follow my journey as an Australian moving overseas to ski in Japan at the world-famous powder snow capital, Niseko United. This ski trip would be my second full season in a row and my previous experience at this resort would lead me to finding the best and deepest powder that Niseko has to offer.

From daily antics to skiing the dry, blower powder Niseko is known for, this ski vlog series follows the entire winter of 2023-2024. I spent my time living close by to Niseko Hanazono ski resort, one of the best ski resorts in Japan. Watch my journey skiing in Niseko off piste, on groomers, in resort-accessed sidecountry and out in the backcountry of Hokkaido.

With previous Niseko, Japan ski trips and the entire winter season last year under my belt, this winter season was shaping up to be the best skiing of my entire life. Everything I had learned was going to be put to the test.


DISCLAIMER:
Some of the areas in this video are shot outside of the Niseko Resort boundary. These areas are unpatrolled and prone to increased risk of accident and injury. DO NOT blindly follow these videos and ride in the areas shown without the proper education, equipment and knowledge of the risks involved. It is always recommended to ride with an experienced guide and carry an avalanche beacon, shovel and probe (and know how to use them) outside of the Niseko gate system.
