We were fortunate at Morino to have the good people of beardo for an extended stay with us this March………and they were fortunate to get some classic Hakuba conditions (its been a powder-filled March)……..& they made this killer video to back it up………thought i`d share it with you all.

Arrived in style by heli today for day two of the High cascade super park session.Definitely the fastest I’ve ever made it from the Lodge to the top of Sakka!

The combination of a complete lack of wind, faster snow conditions on the run-ups and the Heli shooting meant all the riders were really pushing it on the Jumps. Takumi Ikegami was busting some perfect methods on the hip whilst red bull rider Shinji Okada was doing some epic spin twists on the 25m kicker

A strange blue gimp like being was spotted on the mountain today at Tsugaike. It turned out to be Morino guest Andrew from England. The blue suits are called morph suits and are all the rave in Britain it seems…

The first thing one wonders when confronted with the morph suit is can you see? The second thing is, Can you breathe? Apparantly both functions are possible and you can even drink through it.

The snow was pretty good on anything  north facing first thing, although by lunchtime the rising temperatures were turning the snow to sludge. A turn would create a mountainside of cascading pinwheels. Here’s Eric.
