Since November 20th  I have been surrounded by Hokkaido’s world famous powder. Here a some pics of the places I live, work, have visited and the people I share my time with.

I worked for NISADE during my season in Niseko, and they were an awesome employer, allowing me time to ride and providing a great team to spend a winter with.

The skiing and snowboarding pictures are mainly from Grand Hirafu, but a few were taken outside of the resort, and the ones including Graeme and Kyoko were from our day in Rusutsu.

After the season we visited Kyoto, where the pictures of the temples and gardens were taken.

Japan in general was an amazing experience. The winter was snowy beyond belief, the culture surprising but wonderful, and the people friendly and welcoming.
