Tried skiing a few times cause a friend did it, I sucked big time couldn't do it at all almost killed myself and some stray kids, which is unusual because I can normally do most sports reasonably well first time, decided to give boarding a try could stand up turn and stop first time out had a great time never looked back.

I grew up in Australia and never even saw a pair of skis until I moved to Japan at the age of 25. I was hooked on Japanese snow from there (especially Hokkaido). Now I'm 34 and still here and still lovin it!!!

 

The people, food, culture and snow are all sensational here.

Oh, I missed this thread

Skiing- My parents were mountain lovers. I was a 3 yo and I consider it lucky.

Snowboarding- My girlfriend. I wanted to do something with her and she taught me. The first 2 days was tuff but got it on my 3rd day. Lovin' it.

Boredom and cold feet!

 

We traveled around Japan a few years ago in February. My kids never saw snow before, then they saw plenty in Nozawa.

 

It was really fun to watch the kids going crazy in the snow - however, as a spectator only it does get cold. Too cold. So I rented some snowblades and started.... Was fun from day one.
