This clip was captured at Rusutsu Resort in Hokkaido, a resort featured on the Epic Pass. It was captured on a Saturday on what looks like a powder day and was probably shot early in the morning, so understand that there's a good chance this was the worst it was throughout the day. Additionally this was apparently shot on a day where high winds closed a lot of chairlifts and nearby ski areas.
Industry NewsA South Carolina woman has admitted to taking part in a years-long operation that used stolen credit card information to buy ski passes later resold at steep "discounts," according to reporting by The Salt Lake Tribune. Jamilla Greene, 34, pleaded guilty Tuesday in federal court to conspiracy to commit wire fraud, acknowledging her role in a scheme that investigators say ran from late 2020 through May 2024. The operation involved Ikon and Epic passes and lift products for Utah resorts, the Tribune reported.
