The weather couldn’t be better. Yes, you could ask for 30cm of fresh a night so we can all ski pow in the resort, but the sun has given us the opportunity for some great back country days.
We hit Youtei this week with a small group of us. Joey, Oscar and Watkin and I on a perfect blue bird day….
This is what we saw…

Youtei's Crater - untracked perfection.

First Line into the crater - Bevan and Yuki (the dog)!

Does this need a caption?

The view back to Annupuri

Ski in - ski out.

Watkin, switching it up into the crater.

Watkin. luvin' it.

Watkin's first two hits into the crater. Bevan and Yuki's line (right)

Watkin - a casual Japan 3.

Yuki - frothing on freshies.

Summiting - and thinking about an ice axe purchase!

Dropping in... two?

Joey - sending it.

The 'nar zone.

Trekking out from the crater.

Oscar - sending it.

A sweet day on top of Youtei.

Checking out our tracks from the run down.
What a day! Awesome pics Az – can use that one at my funeral.
Sweet, have looked out on it many times, but very cool to see inside the crater! BTW We have a Golden Retrieve x Labrador that’s called Yuki! I bet she would love to give that a crack!
Maybe next year for me !!!
