I’ve created a new YouTube channel “Rich Skis” to share my adventures and growth from an amateur skier to comfortable on any slope in Japan. I’ll link my posted videos on that channel here for all to enjoy.

@LoreZyraI just liked “RUSUTSU Ep1 - YUKI [SNOW]” by @SnowLocals on #Vimeo: video/133403124

@LoreZyraI just liked “7 PERFECT WINTER DAYS IN HOKKAIDO !” by @SnowLocals on #Vimeo: video/286121485

@LoreZyraGreat concept! Inner soft boots are indeed comfortable. Exoskeleton needs a bit more work for taking off / putting on. LoreZyra/status/1079951276748795904
