Japan - Skiing in Hakuba

We drove from Tokyo to Hakuba on Friday night. Once we got to Hakuba it was pouring rain and it continued to rain hard all night. But the rain stopped once morning came and we headed to the ski slopes. Unfortunately all of the rain and warm weather melted a ton of snow and turned it into a slushy mess. It was more like spring skiing in Late April or May and winter skiing in the middle of February. You could actually see the snow melting from one run to the next.


It was also crazy crowded for some reason.


Pretty Cool! There was a McDonald's in the chalet at the top of the mountain. Unfortunately it was closed.
