Before the big rain, I had a few more great days in the backcountry. I had to mount the skins a bit more than I would have liked, but the compensation in the form of excellent descents was very okay. But then it came and how... the rain and super warm. That was the end of JaPow for the time being. The following days were to die for. Ice rinks, absolutely terrible conditions on and off the piste. Day after day, someone sacrificed themselves and went out first thing in the morning to report to us in case we did get out of bed. Four long days of total exhaustion - and time for a bit of culture.

Lots of sun, lots of fresh snow and great adventures in the backcountry. In part 4 of Patrick Fux's powder report from Hakuba and the surrounding area, you can see that even in the powder paradise of Hakuba, the sun can shine in high winter, only to soon give way to the next snow clouds. -

Powder, trouble with the ski troll, sun (a rather rare guest in the permanent snowfall paradise) and even more powder. In the third part of Patrick Fux's Japan sequel report, Japan nevertheless shows its classic winter side: lots of fresh snow! -
