this… from snowjapan/niskeo-now
“There have been 2 fatal accidents yesterday. In both cases, the Niseko Rules has been ignored and disrespected. It is really sad to apprehend this reality. Both victims fell into a crack and lost their lives. Dangers about cracks have been repeatedly mentioned in this information, but ended up in vain. Disrespecting, ignoring or criticizing this Information or the Niseko Rules is not a problem as long as people take care of themselves and avoid thoughtless actions that could lead to serious accidents. It is a very sad morning. May their souls rest in peace.”

Oh my god, I just saw this. That’s terrible. There is no need to duck ropes at Niseko. If you do you are crazy, and playing with your life. Horrible.
Here is some raw footage of me riding at niseko annupuri on a black run called Merchen. Its a bit foggy at the start but the cam clears up quickly.
This is shot on a Liquid image ego pro in a waterproof case.
fly out this time tomorrow night.
anxious would be the term.
No need to be anxious Kong!
Excited should be the only emotion right now!
Have fun
Hey Miz are you back from your trip yet?
