Man love all your vids and the chill vibes. Can’t make it myself, but almost feels like I’m there! If I come across you one day, I’ll be buying the beers 🍻
I appreciate that! I try to make the videos flow, so you get the right amount of skiing, talking and everything in between. I'm glad it makes you feel like you're along for the journey each video, that's what I aim for.
Ski coming off sucks. Took me 15mins to find mine last time there and it was 20m downhill from where I dropped it. Gave me the sh ts! Might see ya early Feb.....
@@scollyutube yeah it does, I think I might get some ski tracers. I've had to look for one for over an hour before and it sucks. Slows the whole group down.
@Soccer_Star74 This was filmed well before any of the gates opened. Don't worry though, I've got some other spots that are less busy than what you've mentioned now that everything is opened 😉
Hi Blaize, love the vids. I’m hitting Niseko in late Jan with the fam, so I will try and keep a look out for you….staying at the Village though. Can’t wait to get back to Niseko.
Greetings from NZ Blaize. Love the content. I'm looking forward to my first time in Japan. I've subscribed so I expect a beer but I wont be there 'till early March. And ill be at Rusutsu so, unlikely, never know. Thanks for the effort every morning mate!
Hey mate, happy to hear you enjoy the videos! I hope you like Japan as much as I do, it's such a cool place! Early March can have some really great skiing, especially as the resorts are quieter. I do get over to Rusutsu every so often, so if you do see me, say hello and I'll be happy to buy us a round!
@@XIII1013 I ski as hard as I can until there's no more fresh tracks. Usually that is between 11-1pm depending on the day, time of year and what terrain is open. I have zero interest in skiing choppy, carved up snow so would rather push myself as hard as I can in the morning, skip lunch and get as many fresh laps as I can. Then head home in the arvo. I also ski almost every day so it's hard to be doing full days of skiing 7 days per week.
hi i just wanted to say i love the content your making and how beautiful it is to show us your daily life skiing also i wanted to ask where do you go skiing?
Hi mate, I ski mostly at Niseko United in Hokkaido. I do usually do a few trips to Rusutsu which is close by and some backcountry ski touring around the area.
Gate 5 puts you on skiers left of the Hana 3 chair (it wasn't open at the time this video was shot). I was skiers right of the chair in the first two runs, so still technically inside the resort.
That is my ultimate goal as well! I have no idea how I will make it happen, but I have a feeling doing this RUclips gig is a good step in the right direction.
I certainly do, that's usually the only place I ride. Gate 3 only just opened the other day, and my videos are about a week behind the current date (editing unfortunately takes some serious time haha). Make sure you're subscribed as there will be plenty of content from the peak and some cheeky backcountry touring later in the season!
Loving the content mate keep it up. Just wandering are tree wells much of a problem there? I'm an Aussie living in Whistler Canada and tree wells are a massive hazard here because the trees catch the snow in the leafs and creates a well around the base of the tree. Looking at the footage it doesn't look like the trees catch the snow cause there is no leaves.
Hey mate, tree wells aren't really much of a thing over here as there are no evergreen fern trees like Canada. That's not to say they can't develop, but it's nothing like Canada where they are a huge hazard. All the trees here shed their leaves and so you don't really have the same risk. However, Japan does have its own set of hazards like creeks which are reasonably easy to find if you like to ski in valleys.

@@Nathan-o4q7g thank you for taking the time to comment. This is my 3rd season in Niseko, Japan. I do most of my skiing between the four Niseko United resorts here. I also travel to Rusutsu sometimes and do a bit of backcountry touring when the conditions are good.

Pow pow pow mamen. Amazing vid, once again 🙏
@@dumercqmaxime5114 thank you bro!
So. Damn. Sick.
You're so damn sick!
That was a banger day!
@@Loveofpowder sunny days are special!
@@BlaizeKellysame here, haven’t had one yet.
damn that looked close! glad you're safe. If I see you in Feb I'll say Hi ^_^
Yes, a very close call! Please do say hello if you see me around.

Not sure how that dude is comparing this to the legendary Mt Buller 😂 Beautiful conditions though man, you really are living all our dream for us
@@tomf3290 haha yeah that dude was crack up!
Are you saying Buller is better or?
If the case, Buller is dwarfed compared to Niseko.
Aussie snow is absolute crap and icy
@Soccer_Star74 haha man, the joke went way over your head 😅
Not getting ski this season or probably for a while has been a bummer for me. But glad to have this great content to watch
Glad I can help you get a bit of a ski fix when you need it. Hoping you get back on the slopes soon!
@ fingers crossed 🤞
You should record yourself doing Anepueie gate 7-8-11 and 2/1
Super good snow and not too many tracks
@Soccer_Star74 This was filmed well before any of the gates opened.

Like 90% sure at the bottom of hana 3 there's a poster saying not to ski directly under the chair lol
Hey Blaize, some good POW, I'll be there on mid-Feb, I'd like to catch up for a ski and beer!
@@chrisbarnett4542 Hey Chris, if I'm free I'd be more than happy to. Hit me up when you're here!

Hi Simon, glad you like them! Make sure to say hello if you see me. I'll be floating around ;)
@ I will try and look for gear you use…..looks like you spend heaps of time in Hirafu and Hanazono
WE’RE BACK IN BUSINESSSSS 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Yeah buddy!
🔥
🙏
I agree that Niseko is the best but do you have any other mountain recommendations in Hakaido?
@JudePhilipp I've been to Rusutsu and Furano and they are also both great.

@@BlaizeKellygonna be at rusutsu in mid feb, hope to see you around!
@@nvrluki7608 Hopefully I get a few chances to get over there. I actually think Rusutsu is a better resort for inbounds skiing.
curious what time do you finish skiing? seems like you only ski in the morning? why not full day?
Probably had to go to work @XIII1013
@ right

Awesome man. There in 10 days. In those first 2 runs was that through gate 5?

Legend thanks heaps
damn its looking mint... I just wanna figure out how to ski for 3 months of the year in hokkaido...
That is my ultimate goal as well!
I have no idea how I will make it happen, but I have a feeling doing this RUclips gig is a good step in the right direction.
Do you have any plans to do any peak hike riding? Maybe a later season thing?
I certainly do, that's usually the only place I ride.
