I can put you in touch with a couple of guys who know the mountain very well. I know about that ravine all to well. Hopefully I can make my way up there next season. I will pm you later with more info. Nice Videos!

I have a Bluebird video on here too where I venture off and all over. I almost died out here. From the top of direct I went immediately to the left side and wound up in a deep ravine that took me 6 hours to climb out of on a 45cm fresh snow day. Got back to the parking lot in pitch black, couldn't feel my fingers or toes. I did 30 days last year and I guess because I got bored holding the camera so much, I missed out on some of the most creative runs I put together. See you next season?

Missed your reply, sorry! I'm driving a 99 Impreza. not the STi model but here the GC8 Impreza has a single turbo boosted to 15psi, for around 250` horsepower. Very fun car, never gets stuck in the snow.. swap forester suspension in the winter and it gets even better. Are you in Kuroishi now? I might come up there tomorrow for a car show.
