    SPRING SKIING IN JAPAN

    December 19, 2014 2 min read

    SPRING SKIING IN JAPAN

    There’s plenty of places you can hit the slopes comes Winter, but when it comes to exotic locations, Japan is hard to beat. And Spring is one of the greatest times to check it out and experience “bluebird days” - a day filled with bright sunshine and blue skies right after mighty Mother Nature has dumped a fresh load of powder snow.

     

    GET YOUR JAPAN SKI & SNOWBOARD GUIDE FREE

    When it comes to getting all the in-the-know information, our friends at Liquid Snow Tours are the people to speak to. They’ve put together an awesome eBook that includes resort info on all the hot spots - Hakuba, Niseko, Furano, Nozawa Onsen, Myoko Kogen, Shiga Kogen, Appi Kogen and Madaro. Head on over to their website and download their eBook for the best local recommendations, trail maps and secret spots.

    They assure us that while you’ll still benefit from wearing your super soft, warm and comfortable ioMerino thermal Merino base layers, the weather is actually much milder in Spring too. Plus, there are less crowds, no line-ups at the lifts and without the Winter blizzards, you can even see where you’re skiing! Which can certainly come in handy?

     

    SKI & BOARD EASY.

    They have a great range of tours to choose from, and if you’re the kind of person who likes a bit of adventure, but prefers the arrangements to be easy, they have some fantastic all-inclusive options available so literally everything is taken care of for you. There's no need to be overwhelmed by the choice of ski schools, what and where to hire, where to stay or eat, or how to get there. The only decision you’ll have to make is what colour ioMerino base layers you want, and you’re ready to go.

    Worth the expense

    Best and most comfortable merino clothing for the UK and Canada winter. A must buy is the base layers. Tops and leggings. Very happy with my purchase.
    Easy to care.
    Can't wait to use my gear for next trip to Finland 2025.

    Great slogan as well. As used by owners of e72.au

    Fantastic for the Camino/long hikes

    I wore this tee on the Camino and loved it. I hand washed it every second night and by morning it was always dry. I love the dazzling blue colour, the higher neckline was great for preventing sunburn and the sleeve length was perfect. I only had two tees with me for 42 days and I never tired of wearing this tee. It has kept its shape and has plenty more wear left in it.

    Walked the Camino in them

    Fantastic for hiking and everyday use. I bought two pairs of the bikini briefs for the Camino (40 days of walking) and they were fantastic. They dry really quickly. I would hand wash out a pair at night, roll them in a towel to get the excess moisture out, hang them up and by morning they were always dry. The hot pink colour made them easy to find in my pack too. Love them!

    The boxers themselves are excellent. Great material and a great fit. What set ioMerino apart was the proactive customer service. I was very impressed

    Best ever socks

    These are the best socks I have ever had. Cushioned and extremely comfortable, they fit in my shoes like much thinner synthetic socks, they can be worn for days before they need washing and they don’t walk down into my shoes.

    A great investment

    This jumper is going to be my new best friend, even in Australian spring/autumn (or Melbourne summer!).
    In Norway at present - well and truly minus- and it performs wonderfully as a layer, or a quite-dressy top indoors.
    I'm really pleased with the quality, and it's NOT made in China!

    Altitude Zip

    Perfect for when riding my bike. Long sleeves are great for keeping the sun at bay. I find it breathes well and wicks very nicely. Highly recommended.

    Works for me

    This is my 2nd pair. I don't see myself as a leggings bloke so wear shorts over them. Perfect for recovery, camping, bush walking and around the house. Woll on the skin works for me.

    Excellent product

    Excellent, comfotable, dry, long lasting merino socks. I love them for trail running and casual no show in shoes or 3/4 boots.

    Best Pants EVER

    These Tights are the best - I have six pairs. They keep me warm and dry in the winter, but I also wear them all through summer ( see below 34 degrees and very happy) I mean, how can millions of sheep be wrong? As far as comfort and fit they are true to size and the most comfortable pants I own.

    Loving this Gaiter

    With Io Merino and cold weather it is a pleasure looking forward wearing their gaiters. So soft and has this silk like texture to their high quality Merino and lighness having around neck. Sits great and comfy and make one look forward to just enjoy wearing it. Colours!! Such a great selection and really fab to add colour to whatever wearing with and stylish too. The logo is comfortable too as can wear showing or not and still looks good on show too. I have them in two more colours and gifting one. The colours on this Merino superb with fabric and shades are different to anything I have seen before. Makes for great feel to adventuring outdoors or being extra snug indoors.
