It got better step by step and the dreary rainy days of early February were quickly forgotten. Every now and then, some fresh snow fell, albeit not in the usual quantities. In between, the weather was briefly sunny and very warm - and with it came an increased risk of avalanches.

Step by step, it got better again and the gloomy rainy days of early February were quickly forgotten. A little fresh snow fell from time to time, albeit not in the usual quantities. In between, the weather was sunny and very warm for a short time - and with it came an increased risk of avalanches.

Patrick Fux Japan photo reportage part 6

We are basically very nice boys and didn't want to go down there, but the snow probably thought "I'll show the boys where to go". Size of the avalanche: approx. 350 meters in altitude, crossed the river and flowed another 50 m up the slope on the opposite side. We still don't know whether the avalanche was remotely triggered or self-triggered.

We skied down the less steep slopes in a nice and decent manner.

The snow was terrible and we were about to give up when we heard about free soup and burgers. Super tasty and as everyone knows us by now, we were allowed to scoop more than once.

Just announce the free food over the radios and everyone was on the spot within minutes. When it comes to food, you're always well served here in Japan.

Before the big rain, I had a few more great days in the backcountry. Although I had to mount the skins a bit more than I would have liked, the compensation in the form of excellent descents was very okay. -

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!
