WeatherJapan is lined up for a busy January 8-18 stretch with multiple snow-producing waves, highlighted by a major weekend dump and several follow-up refreshers before a warmer, windier finish late week. Central Honshu is the headline with multi-storm totals reaching 50″-80″, while Hokkaido's open resorts keep stacking frequent, generally higher-quality snow that adds up to 20″-65″, with periodic wind impacts on the most exposed terrain.
If anyone missed the memo: last winter in Hokkaido was the place to be. Japan's northern island got absolutely hammered with snow, so naturally ROME's resident crew of powder fiends made the pilgrimage and filmed their exploits for the rest of us mere mortals to enjoy. Bundled into the van, noses pressed to frosty windows as they scoped unridden lines, the ROME crew managed to pull this whole video together completely under the radar.
Aiming for architecture that harmoniously coexists with nature ZED Ishikari is located in a 100% renewable energy area in the industrial zone extending along Ishikari Bay in Hokkaido. This is a region where people have been exploring ways to adapt to the vagaries of nature, such as inclement climate and the flooding of the Ishikari River.
