I grew up visiting this house. It originally belonged to my grandfather's older sister, and whenever I traveled down from Iwate, the northern prefecture in Japan where I grew up, this was where the family gathered.

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.
