Japan // Skiing Hokkaido Pow on Yotei

[@SOULxSOCIETY]

I have been missing your uploads.

[@davidryan4454]

Amen !!

[@jbm2293]

Likewise

[@mitchellmclaughlin6360]

Cristof is back!!!!

[@Bladeki]

Here thanks to Ghost of Yōtei 🙇Arigatou gozaimasu for the amazing video!

[@jeffreyallen1290]

Good to see Christof back on board again.

[@domesticterrorist483]

Wahoo, a new MA video. It's like Christmas has come early. Great to see Kristof back in action, hip must be good again! Top notch as usual Danny, many thanks.

[@BearPlane747]

It's like Christmas has come late!

[@ReVoltaire]

I'd say, "Garmin, a new MA video" 😅

[@jwhoward182]

Man I have missed MA. So happy to see an episode!

[@hainesftw90]

Man, the quality of your uploads just continues to go up every year. What a fun adventure this looked to be - can't wait for more.

[@andreyv1]

Sunday ✅ Coffee ✅ New MA video✅

[@davidstark8734]

Absolutely loved the writing in the intro. keep up the great work Danny!

[@KmmBev]

Finding the glove, always awesome!!

[@afrh9042]

Danny and Christopher, best combo ❤

[@jakekaiser1399]

Nothing like a new Mediocre Amateur video as you are recovering from a big ski day! Love to see another international adventure

[@studiohost]

Fun !almost thought I was watching a Miller ski video for a minute,thanks.

[@rshawcda]

Kudos on your Yotei summit and ski in challenging conditions. I applaud your foresight in having ski crampons for the final push - a painful omission on my '16 venture to Yotei. Japan powder - who knew? Our 4 person group returned 2/12 from a two week powder-palooza with the first 3 days working off the jet lag at Niseko, Moiwa, and Rusutsu (get the bus/lift ticket combo embarking from Hirafu). Then it was 8 days of guided backcountry including an aborted Yotei attempt due to an inopportune southern-approach-sun-bake that nudged us to find solace on the eastern flanks. Our final days included a rime-grinder from the Tokachidaki summit, surely spurred on by snorting a few sulfur fumes along the way, with a nice deep powder finish; then on to an evening at the Sapporo Winter Festival to take in the building-size snow sculptures and chiseled ice menagerie. The riskiest moment of the trip was negotiating the glassy sidewalks of packed snow as we left our pointy things at the hotel. Your cultural contrast assessment is spot-on (just because no one is pointing out your impolite manners doesn't mean you're a savvy traveler) and sourcing sustenance from "Sevvies" is the way to go. Where else can you get squid chips? And a quality $1.60 machine-mixed latte? But know the word is out as evidenced by the flash mob we encountered there one morning. Once again you nailed the vibe. Thanks for the tour!

[@LoveStallion]

Great to see Kristof back! I love that guy. I also love you, Danny, but Kristof is everyone's favorite pilot.

[@donmikotaylor]

Another fantastic video. I was worried the OG sound track wasn't gonna make it, but glad it did.

[@PolarBear9733]

Great to see the boys back in action and adding to their elite team. I am also happy to see the rumors of Christof’s retirement have turned out to be false!

[@nickdambrosia2304]

Really nice nareative and beautiful visuals as always 👏👏👏

[@toddb20]

Must've replayed that moment at 10:00 when they're skiing side by side 10x... Video quality is so good...

[@whenopportunitycomes8718]

A very unique location this time. Great to see this after a long time. Awesome 👍👍

[@BeholdenYeti]

Good to see another MA episode! Hope you gents are doing good. Haven't seen Blake or Matt in a while so I hope they're doing ok. Great video as always!

[@gerdinty]

I noticed they unfollowed each other on IG. I've been wondering what's up.

[@AndrewOlsen356]

"attention seeking internet hustlers!" lol. I've heard a few people complain about you revealing amazing placing and I always chuckle. Love the videos.

[@BearPlane747]

WOOOOOHOOOO A MA VIDEO!

[@ViaFerrataCH]

Welcome back, maybe you could go back in summer and jog up Fuji San?

[@vivace9051]

This is News AF. Love this video.

[@austinado16]

Excellent job on this one Danny! The shots of the fog shrouded tree skiing in the powder were incredible! The footage on Yotei was also impressive. Thanks for taking us along!

[@nomadtrails]

If you're still here, I'll take you to some of the most epic spots in central hokkaido!

[@robinsmith9734]

Just great to see you and Kristoff and others back in action, ideal up and down though in a day...........

[@marki7275]

Very cool. I skied in Hakuba in March. They call it the Japan Alps. You should give it a shot in the future.

[@TheronHayes-g9z]

Actually came to your channel to comment that I was missing your content, and BAM, here’s a fresh video! Short but sweet.

[@MoselleMemories]

Best channel ever. I have been waiting for this.

[@josharnott556]

YOU’RE BACK!! 🎉 Your production quality didn’t *need* to get improved, but holy smokes this is great you guys.

[@d33f15h]

I love this channel so much

[@trystenizsak2199]

Enjoyed meeting you guys at Kiroro, glad you enjoyed the trip!

[@michaelfoley6670]

Good lord I’m glad you’re BOTH back! I’ve missed seeing your adventures…

[@Dbbldragon]

Looks wonderful! Hopefully we get more content in eastern Asia!

[@fritz1205]

Good to have e you back! It’s funny I was scouring the Internet to see if you had gone all the way of the world. Great vid.

[@di5702]

Perfect/amazing/fantastic

[@Biggie_Johns_Son-v3i]

You're living my bucket list.

[@historicalmarkers]

Other Worldly! So happy to see another post from you guys!

[@averywear8295]

Another great vid! Glad I finally subscribed, I watch every time. I've been wanting to ask you: I'm planning to try the Matterhorn this summer. I've freed the Grand Teton, Moran, and Hood. Do you think it is more difficult than those?

[@leswoodburn5764]

Lucky enough to twice ski Niseko. What a resort, what snow dumpage, what a holiday. Great video, thanks for the reminder from England. Cheers a plenty.

[@leprichaun2008]

Danny, a great video and thank you again for sharing the adventure. Could you please list the kit you took / wear and also the next skis you’re thinking of buying due the scrapes on Yotei. Safe travels.

[@CephBacon]

Rode Yotei last year, unfortunately I didn't make the summit though. Top 200m of the mountain was very windblown and icy and none of us had brought crampons

[@karukun0212]

I have skied Yotei many times; watching you as I do, it is great to see you there! Everyone needs to get to Hokkaido once. Asahidake next I suggest. Also check out Mr. Rishiri on Rishiri island in NW Hokkaido-great trip.

[@pei-huayen-roy1047]

Nice Japanese music to go with it!!

[@trailfinder7367]

This was a surprised upload! It is awesome, yet familiar views! I am so glad to see you guys made to Japan. There are so many backcountry skiing, running trails, and terrains there. Love to see you guys more trail running, mountaineering, adventurous episodes in Japan going forward!

[@Blato_]

That was a great video, so happy to see you upload again

[@Paramedic772]

Been missing you guys! Glad you are back!

[@tomasr64]

Thanks for filming your adventure, editing, and posting. Its hard to film when moving at a good clip.

[@billbegg1139]

[@tulpia8767]

[@michizer0]

I ve been two weeks in niseko and there was not a single day where we could try climbing mt yotei. The weather is so bad in hokkaido

[@LynnBaldwin-Farther]

Glad your back at it.7-11, Japan's adventures first stop.

[@Haggybardy]

[@whartonloser]

Where have you guys been?? I have had to live vicariously thru Honnold and a couple people building houses off-grid.....

[@spicee1000]

Welcome back Cristoff! (Intentionally spelled it different that the last two comments before me who also spelled it differently form each other). Does Danny keep you around for "United" reasons? Nice representation of Ortovox on this filming...so thumbs up from. Great adventure Mediocreitzs. Look forward to whatever else you get into on your trip to Japan.

[@jayweiss602]

[@themanfromearth76]

[@Tippycanoee]

Been waiting on a ski vid for a minute

[@uggebugge1]

[@jon-kyle4823]

[@colin7469]

Would you ever do the Barkley Marathon???!?

[@iPityDatFoo]

[@geoffswyka1143]

Stunning!

[@frankiev8295]

That’s a dream!!!!

[@calvinh208]

I'm glad you can still consult an adventure guide in Japan before you start skinning.

[@markkendrick7547]

Snow looked great....How long was the hike up to the summit and how long did it take for you guys to descend ?....🏔️❄️⛷️🔥👊💪

[@steveilg6134]

My daughter and i will take your skis!

[@redskins1120]

Is Fuji next?

[@jasonmobil]

...rather than just skiing trees and deep powder everyday...😅

[@jimclean2]

I live in Japan 😢. I missed seeing the coolest of coolest of guys. Also my Mediocre Amateur hat is getting a bit worn out. Can you please release another batch

[@valdius85]

Best regards from Tokyo :)

[@swampy7139]

NO WAYYYY. new mediocre amateur video?!? We are SO back

[@tylorsoll6033]

Yo, send those skis my way!

[@jeffzhang4384]

Where is Matt? Is Matt no longer a mediocre amatuer? Is John gonna replace him?

[@andyman127]

How does a Colorado boy/ gear nerd get a trial run with the guys? LOL . In truth desperately working to come back from an ACL, FCL, meniscus reconstruction, so I can get back in shape for an attempt at Denali. Thanks for all the content and puking to keep me sane.

[@krisztian007]

Danny please bring back the classic MA soundtrack.. it works so well..🙏 I know you think it’s getting old, but it’s not.

[@BreakOutOfTheAlgorithm]

Y’all make my day with every upload. 🙏🏽 What a beautiful adventure. 👁❄️🧘🏻‍♂️🐲👍

[@pierrerousset1193]

Which date was video taken?

[@mykhailodobrilovskyi7962]

Finally!

[@gumotx]

Yay! No vomiting!👍😀

[@florentcadot]

Those 7/11 oishii pancakes are definitely the poorly kept best secret of Japan

[@SaveourPlanetEntertainment]

“Boogers running from our nose, into our mouths” 😂😂😂😊

[@TheZentrdr]

why the little turns? point and rip the contour of the mountain.
