Recaps, photos, and notes from each week — plus event page snapshots where we still have them.
Nine of us landed in Nozawa Onsen for a full week — the biggest crew we have taken to Japan, and easily the most energy. A cozy hot-spring village at the base, nice people everywhere, and a group that never really quieted down from first chair onward.
Early March 2025 was snow trip #2 — Hakuba, bigger crew, everyone on a board. Tsugaike to start, then Goryu, with enough mountain days to stop checking the forecast and just ride.
Late March 2024 was our first Snow Ninjaz trip — a small crew, a few days in Hokkaido. Niseko Hirafu for part of the week, then Furano, with the drives in between almost as good as the riding.
