Ski at Akakura


We went for another ski trip in Feb 2012, to Akakura (赤倉) in the Myoko Highlands (妙高高原).

The kids were still too small to ski, so we rented sleds for them to play with.

The snow was really good... it had been snowing heavily for the past few weeks before we arrived, so there was lots of snow. In fact, it was snowing so heavily on the day we arrived, that it was hard to drive. But we were greeted with a beautiful snowscape.

And you can even spot the tracks of hares in the beautiful snow... a sign that life exists even in this harsh winterscape.

The 4m of accumulated snow, from all that snowing this winter...
