DERRICK BULLOCK

If you have the chance, you must come to Hokkaido for skiing once

The skiing skills that have been dormant for three years have finally come in handy again. The main purpose of coming to Japan is to ski. Originally, Hakuba was scheduled, but it was temporarily cancelled the day before because it was heard that there was almost no snow in Hakuba. I thought I could only stay in Tokyo because it's not very realistic for more than 20 people to book anything at the last minute. But unexpectedly, with the joint efforts of everyone, a trip to Hokkaido was arranged at the last minute. It's a good thing we went! This is my first time skiing in Japan, which is really different from skiing in Beijing. The key is that the powder snow allows me to ski without any psychological burden; three years ago in Chongli, I was always cautious about the ice. Mainly because I had a big fall at that time, I was a bit scared. In short, skiing in Chongli is like eating shaved ice, while skiing in Hokkaido is like eating silky and dense ice cream. ⛷️Kiroro: Not many people (probably because it's not the weekend), there are 7-8 ski trails open. Both the pressed and unpressed black trails are worth a try, very exciting! The intermediate trail is suitable for practicing carbine. Most of the ski trails seem to close at 3:30. Lunch went to the cafeteria lumiere, with many choices and good ingredients! Highly recommended! 🏨A-Brand Hotel: It's a castle! It's a hot golf club in summer. It's less popular in winter, so it can accommodate more than 20 of us. There are four or five floors in total (the 5th floor is a 180°C glass-enclosed circular loft room. It's beautiful and cold). Because there are few people in winter, the heating supply is not enough, and there is no special person to make breakfast. The hotel facilities are not new. Except for the quilt being a bit small and the heating not being large enough, everything else is okay. The hotel is about 30 minutes from the ski resort. There is a special car and meals are included. The most important thing is that it is economical. It's already very satisfying to be able to find such a place where everyone can move freely for temporary arrangements. Everything that should be there is there! It's a choice, especially when many hotels in Hokkaido are full and expensive. Once again, I marvel at the feel of the powder snow! I skied for three days in a row and felt it was not enough!
