Skiing in Japan is fun!

Mountains are mountains and snow is snow. What’s different here is that it is colorful, well organized, full of smartly dressed Japanese people and very different after ski.

High mountains with many peaks in the 5.000-7.000 m range. 30% of the country is said never to melt. To us, Johan, Jax, Kjersti and me that sounded like a great place to go skiing! Both my luggage and Johan didn´t make Läs vidare
