snowflakes keep falling on my head

What a nice sight to wake up to. Street filled with snow, skiers making their way to the slopes.
Before hitting the slopes, we had to get our gears.

√ Waterproof jacket and pants
√ Snowboard and boots
√ Goggles and gloves
√ Ski lift pass

Look at how beautiful Hakuba is, covered in thick layers of powder snow
Base station for Happo One Ski Resort
All geared up and ready to go =)

4 easy steps to get to the top of the mountain. 1) Put your leading leg into the binding on your board. 2) Make it pass the electronic ski lift gate. 3) Catch the ski lift. 4) Away on the ski lift.

Getting off the ski lift was tricky. We took 3 times to get it right without losing our balance by falling and blocking others. It was hilarious. We laughed so hard that we started perspiring even before we started snowboarding. And that's like -5 degrees.

Managed to capture us in action. We don't look too bad right.....

We attempted skiing but failed miserably. Gave up after 1 hr and decided to stick to snowboarding. It may look easy but somehow we juz can't get it.

This is how much my boy loves snow. Best thing of all, it snowed the whole day =)

Foods of the day. Yummy kyushu ramen at an open air cafe, with snowflakes as extra ingredients, sashimi bowl and grilled yakidori bowl. Everything juz taste better here.

Traditional Japanese Onsen to end this snow perfect day. Snowboarding is some extreme sport. My body is breaking apart. Hopefully my knees, shins, wrists, muscles, arse don't give up on me.
