Why does he go to a local ski resort in Japan every year during peak season, even though he lives in Whistler, North America? We asked him
The quality of Japan's powder snow is unparalleled, and countless inbound skiers and snowboarders travel to Japan from all over the world in search of it. However, even though their home mountain is one of the world's top resorts, Whistler in Canada, where they can ski as much powder as they want, they still make the effort to come to Japan every year during the coldest winter months when the snow is at its best. Why is this?
The featured character is Shane Zack, a leading figure in the freeride world as a member of the Canadian Air Force, a group that dominated the world of twin-tip skiing in the early days of the sport. Shane's article about Tohoku, where he frequents ski resorts, captivated by its powder snow and hot springs, attracted the most views in 2024. The name of the ski resort Shane fell in love with is still a secret, but it's a small ski resort in Tohoku with a nearby hot spring, and is known among the locals as "Kamoshika Onsen."
On New Year's Eve, December 31st, Shane sent an end-of-year greeting email to the STEEP editorial department. In it, he wrote, "I'm going to my favorite Kamoshika Onsen in January again this year!" With the influence of La Niña bringing heavy snowfall, it might be a good idea to read this article and consider a powder trip to Tohoku!
