Winter Wonderland


Carving at Hakkoda

Snowboarding is one of the many great things northern Japan has to offer. There are several excellent resorts within a 2 hour drive of Misawa. This picture was taken by Paul at Mt. Hakkoda, one of the more challenging places to go, and, as you can see, it's absolutely gorgeous. Luckily, my future home of Utah is also known for its snowboarding, and even though I may pay a little more for lift tickets, I don't think I'll be paying up to $60 on toll roads. You gotta love the Japanese and their unbelievably high cost of living.
