Another Winter, another season up in Niseko. Just me for the first trip with some buds for 3 days. Conditions were pretty good with an average of 30cm of fresh snow every day.

Non-HDR shot at the end of a great day at the exit to what I call "second bowl" in the backcountry on the Annupuri side of the Niseko resort.

Hokkaido, Japan.
