I had the amazing opportunity to travel to Japan at the beginning of March for the Telemarkuri telemark festival in Hakuba, a mecca of ski resorts in the Japanese Alps just outside of Nagano. It was an amazing experience and it was awesome to see so many Japanese skiers psyched on telemarking. I spent a grand total of three days there and got to ski everything from blower pow to slushy park riding. The Japanese are amazing hosts, the food is great, (though you don’t always know what you’re eating), and I would recommend Japan to anyone who is in search of an amazing ski adventure.
Good Friends, Asahi Extra Dry, and Blower Pow
The Japanese Alps… Untapped and epic.
