First taste of Japanese powder!

Today was the opening of Happo One's ski area. In the morning all the Evergreen Instructors headed up to the top of the mountain for our first ski/board of the season.

Bubble up to the snow!

 And when we came back for our lunch, we randomly met a Tokyo radio station (Nak) who recorded all of us saying Watashiwo hakuba ni tsuretette (meaning "take me to Hakuba") in mainly terrible Japanese accents! Maybe we'll be aired on Tokyo radio? Or maybe not!

The cloud cleared for maybe 10 mins in the afternoon so we could see mountains and actually where we were going!

    I know! We had to do a scavenger hunt on our training and one of the questions was "where do Haglofs come from" and there is a shop in Town which basically just sells Haglofs and Kask...its like a mini Sweden in Japan :)
