Japan 2010-

It's hard to believe a year has gone by, as last year at this time i was avoiding the olympics, and headed over to Japan.  I was blown away by the amount of alpine terrain, and got to sample a bit of it.

I was stoked that Spray magazine from japan ran a shot of me riding this chute.  The shot in the mag was taken a bit further down the chute.  Marc Durand parked himself on the opposing ridge, to capture a larger line, but the conditions didn't line up.  The snow was surprisingly deep, and it put a smile on my face after climbing and downclimbing a ridgeline, that was about as heinous as it can get , due to ice and wind-fuckery.

I think this line is called "Bradley is a Aussie"

a very haggard down climb..     Marc Durand Photo

Ian Millar sampling "the haggard"

This gem keeps me up at night. It's not far from the resort, but seems like conditions really need to line up to get it good.  I hope Ian gets to tag it.

she's stacked out there

Sungod Mountain

 As this was the last day with sun in the recent forecast, i decided to keep with my theme of hitting up local classics.

Another sweet sunrise due to the stink filter

our objective, a bit boney still, but starting to fill in

The last time i rode this peak, we punched right up the face, but today we decided to tour around back

Touring, touring its never boring

We were greeted at the top by a approaching system, graying out the day.
It is a move to get onto the spines,  and we weren't interested in riding them in flat light

I was hoping for this

but we settled for this, Delaney drops into our consolation prize.
Snow was good.

not so glorious in flat light

lots of sweet lines

The morning stink cloud has been producing some sweet sunrises.
The upper valley in its glory.

Daryl Treadway and Chris Christie punching up.  The upslope winds made me want to puke.  Thanks Daryl.
