Sooooooooooo ski season is just about all wrapped up here in Hokkaido and what a doozy it was! We traveled all of the island skiing some great powder and the occasional ice patch. We went to the most famous resort in Japan, called Niseko, as well as Tomamu, Furano and Akan Kohan ski areas. They all had their good sides and bad sides but in the end our overall favorite was Tomamu. It has sweet tower hotels that you can ski into after a long day on the mountain, an onsen and a sweet ice bar that was super cold but worth it.

Angela progressed like a beast this season skiing her first ever blacks, tree runs and powder runs. After being forced to follow us through some adverse terrain she quickly picked up and has been hooked ever since. When we get back we're definitely getting her a pair of new skis and a pass to the closest mountains! Let's just hope the states get some real snow next winter, we got pretty spoiled over here this year. I gained a new appreciation for powder skiing and got to demo lots of cool fat skis. I didn't really get to work on park stuff very hard this year but still got to play around a little bit. Hopefully next year I'll get to do both twice as much! We're a little sad to see the ski season end but we're always happy to welcome in the spring and the warm weather!
