January 12, 2019 – First try backcountry skiing in the Hakkoda Mountain Range of Aomori- hiked up Hinadake (雛岳)and skied down.

The hike up took 3 hours, the ski down felt pretty quick.

Had immense support from the group of pros that I went with. I appreciate their patience! I had no idea that I was so weak. (外川さん、感謝しています!)

Gear: GoPro HERO8 Black on a selfie stick
(The helmet was borrowed so couldn’t stick the GoPro to it.)
