Another bluebird powder day in Hakuba

I was going through some photos and found this one from last season. The Japanese Alps never cease to amaze me and I am forever pulling over and taking photos to capture the moment. This is driving along the Olympic road towards Echoland on a beautiful bluebird day. The resort in the photo is Happo One which is one of my favourites to ride on. As you can see the backcountry is amazing and with a bit of experience and the right gear it is all easily accessible. I am looking forward to another amazing season here in Hakuba and to cross off another one of those lines in the picture on my list of must do’s.
