Beer me up!

Beer Hokkaido Nagoya Skiing Snow Nagano Snowboarding Shizuoka Trip

Have you skied in the Rocky Mountains and looking for some powder snow?
A weekend trip up to Hokkaido is recommended.
If your from Australia and looking for a place to hit the slopes I've heard there are places in Hokkaido that Aussies hang out.

Don't have the time?
Well people in the Shizuoka area and Nagoya area Nagano is a popular place to go.
Hakuba48 are one of my favorites!

Skiing or Snowboarding what ever it is your into I'd recommend staying one night at the slopes.
A day trip could be hard on your body especially if it's your first time to the slopes this year and you plan on falling a lot.

Sometimes I can't tell if my first priority was to go snowboarding or if it was to get a nice cold beer after a nice run!
