That night I called the office to arrange for a passport and plane ticket to Tokyo, Japan, for Mr S. Punani.

skinning back to the hotel, yes please!
I can't believe you are a rando racer because I look so much better in Lycra than you.
People who don't think the Earth is flat haven't skied Vail.

What was your favorite resort to ski? I was there about a week after you (Niseko, Rusutsu, Kiroro). We found that things in Niseko got skied out a lot faster than the other two resorts. Really liked the tree skiing of Rusutsu. Probably the best I've ever seen.

I think I'm turning Japanese, I really think so.
Awesome TR. Japan is on the bucket list. This TR makes me want to knock it off the list repeatedly and often."We don't beat the reaper by living longer, we beat the reaper by living well and living fully." - Randy Pausch

Just an FYI for people poking into the Japan threads- I've been living in Central Japan for nearly 10 years now and the last 5 years has seen an explosion of pow riders as new tech has come on scene.
I firmly believe the days of endless pow at JP resorts is near its end. Get it now.
I used to have forests to myself. Now I share them with about 25 regulars, not to mention a hundred or so tourists each saturday. We're all friends, and it's a welcomed change as it stabilizes the snow pack, but it is also a harsh reality.
All-day-long chair-accessed fresh stashes won't last forever in this booming industry. You should really bump Japan to the top of your bucket list. It's going off and it's all ROCKER'S fault.
*That said- there are endless mini-golf, easy-to-access skinning zones all over the place. Just get off a train anywhere out of the city and play I Spy. My first winter here I used to take a taxi from my apartment out to the hills in my ski boots. The taxi driver always laughed at me but it's just so damn easy.

Awesome TR report! I was there over New Year and did a few days with BDT also (Did you ski with Gordy at all? Man did he go big... But then again, when you've got endless pow, everything is easier!)
Your pics and video are definitely way better than anything that I got.. Sugoi!
Re: trip price - flights are pricy, but stay at the hostel in Kutchan. It's way cheaper than anything in Hirafu village and super clean/nice

Great trip dude, what lens kit? Looks like a 10-20, a 50 prime, and a 70-200?
Awesome processing, and great use of that D800. I wish I had that kind of dynamic range ... well freaking utilized.
Oh yeah, the skiing looked sick too
