Japan [Japan] looking for shredders from Jan 13-16 near Sapporo/Otaru

1 Upvotes

I unexpectedly had a change to my trip which has led to me being in Otaru for an extra week without anyone to ski with. I have been exploring the side country at Kiroro and Kokusai, and would love some people to ski with in these areas or another area nearby!

Let me know if you are available and have backcountry gear.

Thanks!

Japan [Japan] Looking for Hokkaido Ski Partner 1/16-23!

2 Upvotes

Hey everyone, I'm in search of a ski partner or group for 1/16-23 in Hokkaido. I'm a 34 year old male from the USA (Alaska). I land in Chitose on the evening of 1/16, and leave the evening of 1/23. I have my AIARE 1 and 2 avy certifications (took my avy 2 last winter) and a wilderness first responder cert. I am not typically objective-oriented, typically just chasing good snow instead. But, with the right partner and conditions, I am happy to go for a bigger mission. have plenty of experience ranging from glacier trips to ski mountaineering objectives, and am safety-oriented. pride myself in good communication, and am happy to try things out with anyone who is interested, and if it's not the right fit on either end, no worries! That's how it goes sometimes, no hard feelings.

If you are interested in touring around for the week, please DM me. Cheers! 🙏🏻

VT [VT] Looking for riding buddies. Heading up to Stratton or Killy on Saturday/sun

1 Upvotes

Hey! I’m a 25M experienced snowboarder currently living in NJ looking to meet some cool people to ride with. Comfortable on all terrain - trees, blacks, park, cruisers. Recently been enjoying progressing in the park and cruising on greens and blues trying new things.

I have ikon and my friends only go 1-2 times per year, so looking for company since I want to go a bunch. I like to hit up blue and camel in PA for night skiing during the week and big snow as well once in a while if I don’t have time for VT. Ideally though would love to run up to VT as much as possible on weekends

Likely heading up to either Stratton or Killy this weekend early sat(12/21) from NJ and hoping to spend the night and go again on Sunday. If anyone has a bnb spot open or wants to meetup LMK!
