    TR: Jongs in Hokkaido

    I've been a massive lurker jong for awhile and finally wanted to contribute something. A bunch of us had an amazing couple of weeks skiing some of the resorts of Hokkaido Prefecture back in feb. For my fourth trip we hired a van, piled in each morning and hit the road. We ended up skiing; Hanazono/Hirafu, Chisenupuri, Rusutsu, Moiwa and Kiroro. I still love Moiwa but can’t wait to get back to Kiroro. The snow was epic, the food cheap and delicious and the Japanese continue to be some of the most endearing people I have come across. Ill let the photos do the rest of the talking.

    Um where are we?

    Hirafu





    Chisenupuri

    Train ride to Otaru







    The DPS Spoons. Amazing in the deep stuff but sketchy while traversing an icey 40 deg slope above a sinkhole.

    Stoked on an awesome trip



    Apologies to Neck Beard and maybe a couple others who have seen the photos already elsewhere. Massive thanks to the boys at Rhythm Niseko for letting us take all their best skis.

    If you aren’t already sick of ski edits, here is a little one I put together. Conscious of the copious POV clips around I made this one pretty quick fire and tried to include some different angles and other stuff to make it interesting. Some fireworks at the start before the tune kicks in, enjoy!

    Fucking nice work on the trip and the edit, JONG! Thinking that kind of stoke makes you one no longer.

    Easily one of the best JONG debuts in TGR history. Bravo, sir. Bravo.

If someone could make a jacket of those three things it would no doubt be the most popular and prized item in all of your closets.

    I know this guy and can confidently say that he is a beater kook who skis snowlerblades and that he stole these photos from Google.

    I can also attest that continued pressure for naked photos of his sister will be richly rewarded, so don't give up. Though I think the pictures he showed me were actually of himself in a bikini.

    Hey thanks everyone, glad I could bring some stoke! Looking at the northern hemi stoke on TGR has kept me going through our long summer down under.

    Neck Beard is correct entirely!

    Good looking trip
    I need to go to Utah.
    Utah?
    Yeah, Utah. It's wedged in between Wyoming and Nevada. You've seen pictures of it, right?

    So after 15 years we finally made it to Utah.....


    Thanks BCSAR and POWMOW Ski Patrol for rescues
