  1. Sorry MH, I was thinking of driving up to Hakuba Friday night but other three girls can't drive (useless...) and two of them decided to come to Hakuba by train Saturday morning. I'm taking Shinkansen Friday night.

    How about fjef, he is not coming?

    There is a very cheap morning bus from Shinjuku on Saturday.

    Or night train from Shinjuku on Friday(not cheap though), you'll get to Hakuba around 5am. When I did it two years ago, not so crowded and I could lay down on the seat. Better than night bus I think.

    See you in Hakuba \:\)

  2. Do we need to buy tickets?? Give 200yen to the bus driver and get on, that's easy. 10:35pm and time to go to home... My last train from Shibuya is 0:45am, I can drink two hours longer in Tokyo than Hakuba. However, I remember I was drinking untill 4am the last time in Hakuba in April. ;\)

     

    Three snowmen from Friday to Sunday. Thankfully my skis will be tuned. It'll be a great weekend in Hakuba.

    See you guys there tomorrow night. \:\)

    fjef, will you and Kai be in Hakuba this weekend?

  3. Kagura on Saturday was very beautiful day, very warm as well. Tashiro area just opened this morning and the snow there was good. slow_7.JPG?a=1924816172

     

    Probably Kagura was the only skiable resort this weekend and got too many people. 2.5hours to get down the mountain, people who didn't want to wait for the lift for an hour was hiking up the slope and it was 6pm when we got the Mitsumata parking lot... I have never had experience like this before but skiing in the dark was fun.

    Sunday, it was snowing from 10am to 3pm, we had about 5-10cm coverage. Tashiro area was good condition all day and Kagura main slope was getting better in the afternoon. I wish I could ski Kagura Monday morning.

    It was my beginning of season ski lesson. I was lucky to have free lesson with some instructors, I hope I'll become a better skier this winter. \:\)
