  • Hiked up Yotei on a sunny day without a cloud in the sky. Top one-third of the mountain had excellent snow and the rest just wasn't. Great day. There were a lot of things in play today and in the end I want to say it was all good, but days like this make me very aware that the joy that this sport brings can, unfortunately, sometimes bring sadness for the people who are waiting at home. Stay safe, enjoy nature.

      You guys made really good time. It was a tough hike in early March.

    swallowtail is the way.set back in respect to the surface area but centred on the effective edge..maybe need a short fat board in the quiver if the snow is too shallow for swallotails to sink

    Hey! Thanks for the great video, any recommendations for Japan specific back country resources? (Ie. Avalanche forecast, weather conditions at the top)

      I think using a guide can be a good way to enjoy unfamiliar territory. I can recommend TAKT mountain guides or NOBORIKAESHI club. Japan is a great place. Enjoy your stay here.

    What’s the gear for walking?

    • @patpat267
      @patpat267  Před 6 měsíci +1

      MSR snowshoes and poles.

    ​@patpat267 Why the snowshoes when you have split boards?

    • @patpat267
      @patpat267  Před 4 měsíci

      My friend uses a splitboard, but the top of the mountain is steep and often icy so maybe that's why he took the shoes. He actually did switch over near the top.

    すごい、、、
    気持ちよさそう
    真狩からピークまで何時間ぐらいハイクするんですか?

    • @patpat267
      @patpat267  Před rokem +2

      その日の羊蹄山はグレート。真狩から登ったわけではないんだけど、だいたい5時間かかるかな。

    Sorry if that's a dumb question, but is it risky to snowboard there avalanche wise?

    • @8BitThoughts

      Was wondering the same thing. It looks steep enough that I imagine it would be very risky depending on the conditions

    • @patpat267

      There are definitely some dangerous places on all sides of that mountain. That particular day did not offer ideal snow conditions, but the top of the mountain was good. The lower half was heavy and dangerous. My buddies and I took the safe route down after 1100 meters.
