First Time “Skiers”

What would winter in Hokkaido be like without the ski adventure?

While other people are trying to make themselves warm from the cold weather, we tried to expose ourselves to a “cooler” and extreme adventure. Having no experience made it difficult at first but eventually, I managed to complete a few beginners’ trails.

Sapporo Teine is a ski resort just 30 minutes train-ride away from Sapporo Station. The place is complete with equipment and ski outfit rentals, restaurants, lifts and beginner to advance ski routes. The snow is deep and powdery so no matter how hard you fall, it won’t really hurt a lot. Lol!

A Short Winter Trip in Hokkaido

I’m Back!

Wheewww! The latter part of the year has been quite tough at work when I thought it will be a more relaxed yearend (due to “code freezes”). Unfortunately, it was not.

But then, I was able to slot in a 10-day holiday; a much-awaited stress-relieving trip in my favorite country- Japan! They say it is one of the most wonderful places to enjoy the winter season, so I made it my goal this year to be back and spend white Christmas in Hokkaido even just for a short while.

Indeed, this is the most wonderful time of the year for me! Sharing with you some of the clips of this 4-day winter adventure.
