Snoooooooooooooooooooow
The snow reached the second storey in Tokamachi. This is an area with one of the highest snowfalls in the world! Drifts were 4m high in places!! So much snow that people often have to climb onto their rooves to clear the snow so that they don't cave in.
Me at Myoko Kogen (Joetsu)
Pow! Powder Power
Oh mi no da snooooow!
While touring the musical in the winter we forced to visit some of Japan's best ski areas. So we had to check out the ski-jos while we were there, life is hard!
Most of my winter memories involve road trips- Lindsay's road rage, Kat singing Peaches (or anything with else obscene lyrics), getting lost a lot but it was fun- eh! and flying through whiteness down an invisble mountain. It seemed to snow constantly, so you could never see where you were going. Consequently there was endless fresh powder. On the few occasions that the weather cleared you are just faced with a surprise spectacular view - like... WOAH!
There was a lot of time "on the road" but in such good company it was totally worth it. Especially the trip up to Zao, where we saw snow monster and Lindsay's nose froze!
