Hakuba

I had a nice family trip last week to Hakuba. This was the only time we managed to go skiing this season.

We were worried whether we’d have enough snow. The entire drive from Tokyo was in the sun and even when we got there, we hardly saw snow.

But that night, it snowed and snowed for us to have a wonderful two days of skiing.

Cars were buried under the snow when we woke up the next morning.

Actually, it snowed all the time while we were at the slopes - very low visibility.

The following day, it really cleared up and was gorgeous! This is the view from our hotel window.

The beautiful view from one of the ski slopes.

The ski jump site used for the 1998 Nagano Olympics was right in front of our hotel.
