SunSurfer Posted January 15, 2016 Report Share Posted January 15, 2016 (edited) Rusutsu is known for its' lift accessed deep powder tree skiing/riding, and less for its' motorway wide, almost empty pistes (at least when the ski school groups aren't about). The pistes are almost all gentlish Blue runs (the Japanese mark these Red) but there are a few steeper groomed sections. The surroundings are beautiful, when you can see them! I swear it has snowed for 90% of the 7 days on this trip. The group I'm with have lost at least 1 ski in the powder, and there's been one episode of "tree-hugging" when a turn didn't quite complete the way my colleague intended. He seems intact and hasn't needed hospital care, just lots of ibuprofen and oxycodone. I've discovered how much a selfie pole throws me off balance when carving, and am unlikely to repeat that experience. This is why I won't be at ATC 2016! Equipment: Coiler NSR 180, BBP 4mm / UPM, Head Stratos Pros (modded), GoPro 3+ Silver @ 60fps Edited March 20, 2016 by SunSurfer 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
