I was going to post some more updates but I got censored by the downtime. I'm back home now. We didn't get any more significant snowfall in Furano and the previous powder adventures turned to crust. The next day was a bit chundery which was nicer to ride. I finished up there and headed over to Niseko Annupuri. There was lots of great tree and valley runs lower down the mountain. I spent plenty of time sessioning a fast quad with a shield and floating through fresh stuff.
It was windy and whiteout up top so the lifts there were closed and we couldn't transition between resort areas without the shuttle bus. We still managed to get a morning in Niseko Village and a sweet valley there. All four days I spent there were pretty low visibility, I managed to get out the everyday lens once, for a single morning.
The big dump waited for the night before I left. I was too slow to book a direct airport bus so had to catch another bus to a train-station in Otaru. Which would have been fine except the snow cancelled the trains between there and Sapporo so we had to catch another bus (along with everyone else). The whole wait made us late for our flight so we rebooked a later one. Which also got cancelled due to snow. Eventually we managed to get on one and made it to our hotel in the very late evening. Thankfully there was tonnes of food open at a quarter to midnight.
Post-snow we did some time in Sendai and Tokyo. I'll look into getting some photos up once I've processed them.
