Japan delivered again for Australian & NZ Snowboarding magazine.An awesome trip to mainland Japan say the boys score waist deep powder for the majority of the trip. Hakuba was first stop where the guys got there legs warm and accustommed to the Japanese powder. The terrain in the backcountry remined me of Alaska.Steep and deep! We also had sick tree runs had some insane bluebird powder days. After we finished riding Hakuba, we moved to Myoko, possibly the best lift accessible terrain I have ever ridden ,not to mention some of the deepest powder I have scored. It was unbelievable and the terrain was incredible with pillows,cliffs and drops galore. With virtually no-one else around the whole mountain was pretty much left for us to ride.We got dumped on night after night and shredded until we dropped.Shinji knows where to find the goods in Japan. I will be back next year for sure...can't wait.
