The first vlog of the season. I took some footage at one of the backcountry ski shops in Sapporo. This is my go to shop; 'Shugakuso.' If you are in need of something, or even if you aren't, it's a great chain of shops that has a lot of gear and knowledgeable and friendly staff!

This is my go to shop for any equipment that I need for the ski season, or for any season for that matter. Shugaso has 3 locations in Hokkaido. Two of the sh...

Watch a video of some new Pomoca skins purchased and then trying them out in the Hokkaido backcountry. Functioning skins are very important for Hokkaido as we will usually do two or three changeovers during the day. I have seen a lot of malfunctioning skins due to glue issues over the years. So far these red Pomocas have been very good. #hokkaidobackcountry #japanbackcountry #skins #pomoca

This is a POV skiing Mt Yotei in early January. The weather and snow conditions lined up perfectly on that day with nobody on the mountain due to low cloud in the morning. #backcountryskiing #hokkaido #mtyotei

Boat ride to an island where we’ll ski for the day. #norway
