February 23rd – Hakuba Backcountry North faces still good!

Skiing & Snowboarding

A nice touring hike today despite mixed resort conditions. Hiked up the first peak and then dropped into a nice north facing sheltered chute then up the next peak and down through perfectly spaced trees.

Conditions were great in the chute as no sun had got in there!

Not so good conditions on the 2nd lower descent but the views made up for it.

The rare sunny February conditions look set to continue so get out there and enjoy them!
