Moiwa On

Mark rippin some turns.
Moiwa

One day off a week is a killa. It comes and goes so quickly, you want to catch up on some sleep but on powder days theres no way you can stay in bed. We were organised this week and headed over to another smaller resort called Moiwa. Nice place, away form the chaos of Hirafu. Only two chairs and lots of accessible backcountry runs. There was even reggae playing over the speakers on the towers which led to the overall atmosphere of the place. No queues ever, probably about 100 people on the whole field. Our first run wasn’t so good, dust on crust. Not much snow overnight, only 5-10cms. But our second run we hit up some of the leeward slopes which were great. Did a bit of hiking throughout the day, but with only a hundred or so other people about we didn’t have go far for fresh turns. 12 or 13 runs, all clean lines. Perfect day. Didn’t get many photos as the riding was so good we kept forgetting to stop. Check out the ones below.
