Ski touring Japan – Hokkaido – Furano ridge pt.2
This was day 11 in Hokkaido for us, in the Northern part of the island where everything is more wild. Here the Daisetsuzan Mountains offers many adventures with some places quite isolated and challenging. That day we went for the Furano-ridge; very popular destination, but empty early in the morning. The snow conditions were marvellous, with 30 cm of powder. The slopes are nice and playful with many opportunities in the upper part, where it is possible also to laps if you are well trained. The lower part is forest and coluars where you need to find your way to the car. Overall rating 8/10, one of the top 3 of our adventures in Hokkaido.
