January 11th Asahi-dake Ropeway Hokkiado, Japan was created by Randito

-22C with 14m/s winds (-8F, 30MPH) limited the fun and the visibility. Snow was variable, ice, sastrugi and wind slab . Snow also cold that skis didn't slide well, even with extra cold wax applied. Glad I brought thick mittens.
