😎LOCAL KNOWLEDGE RULES😎
Goneski's local knowledge, connections and quick thinking prevailed once again on our final Hokkaido Powder Tour of the season!💪
With our famous "10 ski fields in 10 nights" itinerary being disrupted due to road closures and ski fields partially closing because of too much snow, we rose to the challenge of making sure that our customers would be the first to hit the slopes once the roads re-opened!💫
We nailed it!💯
Arriving extra early, we had days of untouched powder just waiting for us... the first few hours were a dream come true... Freshies everywhere!❄️
This, along with our usual dose of amazing food and interesting local culture made for a very special end to a very special powder season!🙏
❄️THE LAST HOORAH❄️
Tour number four, Goneski's last powder tour is in affect. A strong start with deep deep snow and non stop snowfall all day...
Let's do this!
🤯10 NIGHTS, 12 SKI FIELDS🤯
And an absolute truck load of fresh pow every day!❄️❄️❄️
Tour 3 done and dusted... good crew, good laughs, fast paced and epic conditions... check it out!🙌
🌞MID WINTER SUMMER🌞
Unless you have been living in a cave, you are probably well aware that Hokkaido just had one of it's warmest January's on record with no fresh snowfall for about 10 days.
But the last Goneski crew took it well, and made the most of their Goneski Holiday every single day!💥
Our secret spot's were still a lot of fun with no crowds, the food was awesome, the candy floss and crepe making was a big hit with the kids... and someone even went for a dip in the ocean!🤣
So, no fresh snow... but no worries. Everyone still had a great time!🙌

It was a great opportunity to test the new board AND the new camera!🎥

🙌 UPOPOY 🙌
The Ainu are the original ethnic people of Hokkaido. It is estimated that there are only 25,000 Ainu people still in existence!
However, at Upopoy, the National Ainu Museum and Park in Hokkaido, huge efforts are being made to preserve and showcase the culture.
From live performances to hands-on arts and crafts by the Ainu people themselves, this truly is a word class facility and well worth a visit!
Video and photography of the traditional performances is prohibited. But on our visit, we were extremely lucky to catch a rare outdoor sunset performance, in which spectators were invited to join in!
The audio is our actual recording from the performance. Note how it differs from traditional Japanese music.
Would you like to visit Upopoy on your Goneski adventure? Let us know! 🙏
