NewYears was an escape to Hakuba, Nagano for our first trip of the season to the snow! forecast wasn't looking too good, we arrived on Thursday and it snowed the whole time we were there! Totally awesome powder fun at Happo One! Sore muscles and lots of laughter and rolling down the powdery slopes mixed in with carving and shredding and what an awesome time! Stayed at the Alpine Lodge, with its own private onsen, close to the shuttle so on the slopes at half nine! Good times. Never before have i seen the golden arches at top of the slopes - only in Japan! Fluro and 80's fashion has never gone out of fashion here, i guess the japanese know that it will all just come around again. The all in one dayglow suits are the best.
