We went on a ski trip with the local “JET” group to a resort called “Hakuba.” The name “Nagano” may sound familiar, it was the site of the 1998 winter Olympics. Nagano is home to Japan’s highest mountains, although the snow is best in Hokkaido. On the drive there it began to snow, which was very exciting because we had heard the snow hadn’t been so good in previous weeks. The weather was in our favor, and as long as human error was limited, it looked like the makings for a good weekend. We were a little worried that the JET crew would be heavier on the drunken debauchery and lighter on the winter sports, but it was no problem getting our tickets on Saturday morning and hitting the slopes. The snow was great and a good time was had by all.
