Niseko – Snowboard Trip – Last Days | Jan 2018 (Part 3/3)
These were our last few days in Niseko and it was probably the most exciting days as we met up with a few fellow SG friends as well as hanging out together with one of our fellow snowboard instructor friend, Benjamin, who was on his NZSIA Level 2 course.
We met a fellow Singaporean at my lodging, Lavinia Tay Sze Hua who was here alone, so we asked her to accompany us on the slopes since it was her first time at Niseko.
Benjamin and I pooled our knowledge on snowboard teaching and shared with each other on how to improve our weak areas. It was so fun to learn new stuffs and improve ourself. The joy of enjoying the journey of never ending learning!
We got together on the slope and rode together. It was a really exciting as we tested our courage on Park as well as the jumps. We missed a few, but we also cleared a few, so the outcome was great for a first time!
The greatest achievement was the last day where we decided to hike to the summit as it was a clear sky morning. Unfortunately half way up, the storm came it and it was totally white out so we could not take a good photos or videos.
Oh well we have to save it for the next trip. This was our first time climbing up to the summit and it was totally worth it, especially finding fresh powder. Do make sure you bring along your backcountry gear as safety if you ever do serious backcountry and it is highly recommended for anyone to attend a backcountry course before you try.Don’t mess with mother nature.
The track down was wide and big and as long as you keep to the slope and aim for the chair lifts or the cat-trial, you will end up back to the main slopes. Definitely will keep trying more times on next few trip.
Our last night we had a cook-in dinner, prepared by our iron-chef, Fabian and we played games with sake till the early morning where we had to walk back to our lodge to pack for our flight back home. =)
Thanks all for watching the three videos. Will be releasing a few other different type of compilation videos of the trip. Hope you enjoyed the video journey as much as we did. Till the next trip!
