Saturday morning, I woke up early, grabbed my snowboard and jumped on the train to Matsumoto. Met some friends and we drove north to Goryu ski area in Hakuba.
Snow conditions were a bit disappointing, but it felt great to be back on the slopes. At the end of the day, snow started to fall, and it doesn’t seem to have stopped since.
We left Hakuba around 5pm and headed back towards Matsumoto, with a stop at an onsen. There’s nothing quite like soaking in a hot outdoor pool with snow falling.
