Another Snowy Day in Niseko
I can count the number of times the sun has popped on one hand since my arrival to Japan.
It never seems to stop snowing here. The clouds move so fast, the light is fickle. We have been chasing it for days trying to nail the shots.
The elusive sunshine, popping through the clouds.
Two days ago, I took the entire day off from skiing.
I made some delicious tofu cakes, pepper and tomatoes.
Japanese food is so tasty (or oiishii in Japanese). I am going to bring so much candy home.
This was another delicious snack I had–it was like a sweet sponge cake.
It was light and airy with a slight lemon flavor.
Here’s the Grand Hirafu gondola (I like the little penguin ski guy on the building). There are so many cute little animal characters here–I find Japanese culture to be very inspiring.
Cool night shot going under a bridge. I’m finally getting used to driving on the wrong side of the road.
Ben has been a good driver during this trip.
Japanese snow removal
Cool Japanese bus.
I think this is hair dye for men, but I’m not sure. Definitely photo worthy however.
Same with these–Love Love Sand. Sounds like a new slogan for Roxy.
So after stopping by the Seico Mart where these photos were taken (and where we purchase most of our food), the crew headed to the backcountry for a tour.
Beautiful trees.
Still tired–lots of hiking here.
We had a small rain event the other day, so there was a weird layer in the snow, but the top had a fast zipper feel to it. Not the super blower pow we’ve had, but still lots of fun.
There is another storm coming at the end of the week that’s supposed to drop a lot of snow here.
We finished our day by building two night jumps off a bridge and filming with lights and a generator.
I wore two jackets to stay warm.
Today, I might just go shred the resort to my head and take a day off of filming and practice my Japanese with the locals.
More photos soon!
