The T8 from Field Earth is like the Bat mobile of snowboards. This board is a showcasw for Field Earth's 3D design thinking with 3D base, top and MOVE deck which is raised where your bindings are. Looks real niiice. Wonder if they let guests demo this board?

The OMO 7 X Field Earth lounge was a collaboration with the premium Japanese ski and snowboard maker to showcase their latest models.

Old school izakaya with a lively atmosphere. Loud shouts of "irashaimase" mixed in with sounds of sizzling meat from the kitchen. This place was recommended for their Shinkoyaki. An Asahikawa special roasted spring chicken. The Shinkoyaki was done in 2 ways with salt and tare. Both were delicious. Slightly charred but it just added to the flavour.

Tried many of the dishes at Kamui Ski Links. Katsu curry was one of our favourites for a hearty midday pitstop in between runs.

Loved the animal themes at OMO7 featuring the stars of the Asahikawa Zoo.

Amazing breakfast at OMO7 Asahikawa. These mini bakery treats are so cute and very delicious.

Second day at Kamui was a powder day!! The first for this trip. Konichiwa old friend. Been 4 years since we last met.

Kaizoku's steamed clam soup with homemade broth. The clams were large and meaty.

Kaizoku's menu is mainly seafood, but the grilled lamb with chopped jalapeno topping was really good. Succulent and delicious. Had this with their house brand sake.

OMO's Go-Kinjo map lists out all the best places you can try Asahikawa's famous foods like ramen, Genghis Khan BBQ and Shinkoyaki. An OMO ranger is present in the evenings to give recommendations and you can even book a guided food tour. We did this on our first evening, and it was really helpful to get an idea of where the food streets like Furarito, Sanroku were.

Grilled fish and crab for breakfast? Yes please! Ohiso at the Nijo Fish markets is worth waking up early for.

There were a lot of good specials with boards discounted by 20-30%.

They have a waxing service at Murasaki Sports. Guy says that if you buy your snowboard from them you get free base wax forever. Pretty cool.

One of the more popular restaurants in Nijo market. The food at Ohiso was very good and the touch pad ordering system was easy to use.

Murasaki sports in the Parco shopping centre in Sapporo city has every thing a snowboarder could want. Large range of boards, bindings, boots, gear and apparel. Some good discounts in the outlet section. They even have a tuning station.

The Burton Sapporo shop had a display of vintage models showing the evolution of snowboard shapes.

A breakfast Kaisendon at Nijo is one of the best things about ski trips to Japan. This bowl with uni, crab and ikura from Ohiso tasted amazing.
