Powder in Hakuba - Snowshoeing and Skiing

Welcome to the Japanese Alps - they compare very favorably to Colorado and are only about 4 hours from TKY. It's a great year snow-wise with several meters already - more of a problem than a boon at this point say the local business owners.

Jessica, Saskia and I did two days of snowshoeing and had some dinners (feasts). Saskia wouldn't know snowshoeing from the back of her eyelids as she slept the entire time. I also got in a day of skiing which was great.
