Hello!!!
It is amazing to hear that you will give up your job for living in the snowy mountains of Japan!
I would like to do that, too one day! But still I have to earn some money...
Anyway do you know Kagura Mitsumata in Niigata? Until now it has been the best ski resort I visited in Japan. It is pretty big and there are not many people. It goes up to 1850 m.
I would like to visit you in your new appartment... Can I already take reservation???
Mail me soon!
