    LF Ski Partners in Hokkaido Japan 2017/2018

    Looking for resort, slackcountry & a bit of backcountry, ski partners that rip.
    I'm based in Niseko Japan all season, but hitting nearby stuffs also.

    Ran out of ski buddies. Everyone's going off and getting "real jobs" and "responsibilities". Boring!

    Resume:
    35y/o antisocial ski bum / IT worker onlinerer
    Number of bone fractures: 20
    Assigned jacket color: green (one friend has blue, another has red, another has black, etc)
    Faceplants per day: 1-2
    Yardsale: 50% off!
    Number of laides underwear purchased from vending machines: 0
    Ski "days"/season: >100
    Shortest ski "day": ~3 minutes
    Fav park feature: optional "park skills extras package" not purchased
    Lunch & Coffee breaks: no
    Triggers: people stopping and blocking skin/cat/goat/traverse tracks
    Coolness rating: Get off my lawn!
    WiFi password: バンダバーグラム
    Number of weather forecast checks per day: >4

    Likes:
    Japow on mountains
    Alcohol
    Japow in trees
    Infectious powder stoke
    Japow on pillows
    Yelling at "professional" ski guides or instructors doing something stupid or wrong, usually blocking a traverse/goat track/gate (I don't target tourists).

    Groms that rip

    I think you'll fit in just fine here.


    Thinking of a 10 day trip with my wife in early January if you want to rip around a bit. Things are still a bit up in he air but it would be nice to hook up with a local when we're there.

      Hey dude, I'm planning a Japan solo 2-3 week trip end of January. My stats are similar to yours. Except my jacket is dark green... Will that be an issue?

        im like traffic light green, so we shouldn't clash. as long as your bag matches your boots it should be ok.
