When the Going Gets Tough, the Tough Go North

Well Niseko has had a bit of a warm spell. Instead of sitting around waiting for the snow we decided to make our own destiny and head to the colder/taller mountains of Daisetsuzan National Park. We knew the snow would be good since temperatures there didn't get above freezing. Clayton, the Polish Workforce (Polish professional skier Marek Doniec with friends Lucek and Mee how!), and myself headed into the unknown and had a damn good time. Here are some of the pictures from our trip to central Hokkaido. Plenty more updates to come! You can check out other pictures/videos from the adventure on Black Diamond Lodge Facebook

Just a bit of terrain

Good warm up lines for the day

Mt Asahidake doing what it does best - blowing steam

Yes, we skied into an active volcano
