For days like this!
Fine and clear days like today are rare up here in winter! So of course too advantage of the good weather for a backcountry ski.
Just up from the lift at Chisenupuri looking back to Annupuri and Yotei in the background
It's rarely as clear as this here in winter!
Nearing the top with the view towards the south and the plains around Rankoshi town
Looking back towards Annupuri. A bit wind blown on top. In summer you acutally walk under the branches of trees near the peak but they're completely covered now.
Practically untouched slope in the middle ground that comes down to a frozen lake (didn't have time to ski it today). Iwanai and the Sea of Japan in the background.
View beyond the Iwanai plains towards Shakotan peninsula.
