Tubby Beaver 209 Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 now that its all over, were there any times where you were pissed off with heading to a cold car for the night after a hard days shredding and/or bevvying at night? Did you only stay in the car or did you get a hotel some nights? Link to post Share on other sites
gozaimaas 61 Posted March 7, 2013 Author Share Posted March 7, 2013 Staying in the car never pissed me off once. Im a pretty resilient fella! Being able to move around freely was well worth it. I saw everything in Hokkaido that I had been dreaming about for years, had the best snow at the best spot every day. So many first lifts due to sleeping in the car park LOL. -21c at sounkyo spa / kurodake ropuway was a definate highlight! Link to post Share on other sites

gozaimaas 61 Posted March 12, 2013 Author Share Posted March 12, 2013 Sounkyo which is where Kurodake ropuway is situated was by far the most beautiful and breath taking place I visited on my trip. Tomamu was the most disappointing place although it is quite beautiful in the surrounding area Link to post Share on other sites
