We took our first ski trip of the season (and our first ski trip ever with Hazel) to Okunakayama Kogen (Park), located a little less than two hours by car from Misawa. It was the MLK holiday, so a flood of Americans literally took over the mountain, but it wasn't very busy nonetheless. These mountains are really small compared to the Alps in Europe, but we're still really glad that we went.We set up camp at the central lodge with a group of friends, so spouses were able to take turns skiing and taking care of the kids. My how much has changed for us since last ski season!
Lodge Exterior
Lodge Interior, aka the Kid Zone...
These green leaves (possibly bamboo) scattered the perimeter and bamboo shoots were used to mark the edge of some of the runs, a funny reminder that we are skiing in Japan...
And here is a video of Matt back in flight...
Now that we've seen it is still doable with Hazel, we definitely plan to take more ski trips this winter!
