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 [...]
Hakuba rode quite the weather roller-coaster today. A sudden snowstorm plowed through what had once been a clear and warm spring day. The sudden 4 degree drop in temps and onslaught of snowflakes stopped as suddenly as it started. Winter’s dying hiccup, perhaps?
I hit the slopes at Hakuba 47 to enjoy the new dusting [...]
I couldn’t make it out today but Eric, our trusty Wadano lodge manager and faceless being (he’s very shy on the internet) took the camera out and did some easy lines off the back of Happo.It looks like spring kicked in from this afternoon and it will be sunny t-shirt days of park riding and [...]
I know Jen just posted for today but I had to post some more pics and vids from my camera cause it was such a cracker!

Just a few quirky moments from this week on the mountain…
Yes, there is still powder left to be had out there, and we were happy to go find it… everywhere! Round 2 of winter has been an absolute blast. Can’t wait til the skies unleash once again.
Winter has caught a second wind and blessed us with yet another bluebird powder day! We did more riding than taking pictures yesterday. It was too epic to stop!
