Excitement is building as our departure is now less than a week away. When we tell people that we are going to Japan to go skiing, invariably their first response is "Skiing? I didn't know there was skiing in Japan." This makes me smile inwardly and think "Yes, and that's why we have to get there soon!". Skiing in Japan, especially backcountry skiing, is getting more and more press, and every ski movie now has the obligatory deep powder scene shot in Japan. It's only a matter of time before it to gets overrun with tourists such as ourselves. Here's hoping that we have beat the rush.
Gear checks, packing lists, weather checks, getting work projects in order. The trip that seemed so far away now feels as if it is rushing toward us. It is hard to contemplate packing for sub-zero temperatures when it is 85 degrees outside. We are so ready for some cold air and dry snow.
Now all we have to do is get all this
