Trip Report: Skiing Japan During the Legendary Storm Cycle that Dropped 25 Feet of Snow in 12 Days

“Hey Brent, guess what?”  “What?” “It’s still snowing…” This was the oft-repeated banter we exchanged over a 10-day period in early February 2025 in the lesser-known zones of Central Honshu, Japan, during the mother of all storm cycles that dropped up to 25 feet of snow in 12 days.
