Well, it is a new year and we have a slightly new blog. The snow has been coming down fairly regularly so we decided to go take advantage of it. About 40 km west of Misawa is a little town called Shichinohe. It has a small ski hill with a ton of snow.
The two best things about boarding in Japan: First, you can buy the lift ticket in increments so a two hour pass for the kids is $3 and $6 for me (this is very bizarre since the snowboarding simulator at the mall is $2 every time you play it) After it was all done, the entire day of boarding was less than $25. Second, the big day to go skiing/boarding in Japan is Sunday. We were up there on a Saturday with about 12 other people and 4 of those people came with us.
So, here are some pics of the trip.
