Hokkaido Trip 2016

I just returned home to N.Z from 5 weeks in Northern Japan on the island of Hokkaido .
This was my 11th time visiting Japan an every year I go it just gets better an better 

Snow conditions were once again amazing the whole trip an I was lucky enough to meet up with some great people during my stay  .

Below are a small collection of random images throughout out the trip .

Massive thanks to my sponsors for their support an also to Holiday Niseko an the crew there .

Enjoy :)
