Around a year ago, a friend of mine told me he was going to Niseko, Japan.

For month’s following, I continued chipping away, planning out the little details.

By the end of the summer, I finally had enough money to purchase my plane ticket.

My Solo Japow Adventure

I realized at that point, why not do it by myself?

Shortly afterwards, I bought my flight to Tokyo, and booked my reservations.

The following months I continued to plan, and determined which area’s would be best to ski at.

With questions still unanswered and my expectations unintentionally formed, I finally set off on my trip.

I had heard from numerous sources that the winter had been surprisingly drier then usual.

Stepping off the bus, I wondered what a good year must look like.

Huge mounds of snow, with a thick blizzard already set in motion.

Finally, it came time to ski.

I followed that day with plenty more sunny, warm days hitting rails.

Filming was a challenge.

I kept at it though, and ended up with a few mellow on mountain clips.

Japan doesn’t need to be “steep and deep” to be a crazy cool and great experience.

Even though it didn’t snow consistently whatsoever, I wouldn’t have changed a thing about it.

Somehow it all worked out, and the edit turned out decent overall.

I know that would have helped me out!

Thanks for reading, and here is the edit I made.
