Ski Touring in Japan: Everything You Need to Know

On April 20, 2024, we lost a friend. Rob Coppolillo lost his life in a ski accident in the Canadian Rockies, doing what he loved best: guiding. Rob epitomized adventure, pioneering as an AMGA and IFMGA Mountain Guide and founder of Vetta Mountain Guides. Among the first 100 Americans certified internationally, his expertise spanned three decades, guiding worldwide, from Boulder, Colorado, to Chamonix, France.
Rob’s absence leaves a void felt deeply by the adventure community but his legacy of exploration and kindness will live on, reminding us to live life to the fullest. He will be deeply missed and remembered by the 57hours team.

All of your burning questions and more have been answered by our two expert hosts, Rob Coppolillo and Pawel Kunachowicz, as they discussed preparations for their upcoming adventure in the northernmost province of Japan.

できればこの動画 クローズにして欲しい。2023 1月 外国人のbackcoutry skiingの事故、多すぎる。日本列島の地形、勉強して欲しい。V字谷が1kmで数個ある地形を欧米人は侮っていると思う。訳してくれる日本人の方、ちゃんと訳して伝えて下さい。
