Here is my girlfriend Naoko striking a pose at 47 ski hill. It was a great surprise visit. We just happened to be on Facebook and started chatting and she asked what I was doing that day and the next. I asked “Why, you coming to visit me?” and she replied, “Yes!”. So then in the next hour she was on the bus, and within 4 hours we were picking her up at Hakuba Station. We haven’t seen each other for quite some time so it was great to catch up, introduce her to the locals, the local pubs, party and ski Hakuba style. Good times girl!! It was a great visit!!


As you can see we had a killer blue bird day for some spring skiing. Now I am off to Tokyo and Nobeyoka for the next few days for an intensive English workshop. Mmmm, hopefully down in Kyushyu it will be real spring weather!!!!! Have a great week!!!
