One Week in Japan | Photo Tour:

The "Adventure Zone", Japan. photo: snowbrains

These four photos represent last week in Japan. It’s been snowing like crazy with more snow on the ground before New Years Day 2015 than we had here all of last season. We had three weeks of horribly deep snow and then it rained and got cold… Damn. But it was insane while it lasted and it’ll come around soon. The forecast for the next week is surprisingly dry for Japan in January. Hopefully they’re wrong and we get right back into what you see here. […]

Backcountry Trip Report & Photo Tour: Virginia Lakes, CA

We awoke today with thoughts of Tioga Pass today but knew that highway 120 was closed only 4 miles west of the 395/120 junction so we weren’t sure where we’d end up. Our plan was to end up in Mammoth with some friends. We skied the Mt. Rose “Chutes” in the morning on a whim and had a blast on their steep terrain. After the Chutes we loaded back into the car and then randomly decided to check out Virginia Lakes on our way south. Neither of us had been there before […]
