Local Photographer Captures Miharashi at its Deepest

16 February, 2016 Rupert Orchard

Local photographer Glen Claydon took to Niseko's famous Miharashi run to capture some of the deepest turns of the 2015/16 season.

After an unseasonably warm February weekend, the Niseko winter has come back with a vengeance! February 16, 2016 will go down in the books as one of the best of the season, with 16 cm of snow over the previous night and heavy snowfall through the day.

Local photographer Glen Claydon couldn't resist the pull of the mountain and took to Niseko's famous Miharashi run to capture some seriously deep turns. Skip the video through to 0:44 to see him disappear completely in a cloud of blower powder!

This goes without saying, but if you're not on the mountain right now then get out there! (or visit soon...)
