The long weekend is here and I’m heading down to Naeba ski resort in Niigata with a bunch of friends. Last year, I rented all of my equipment and the costs ended up getting ridiculously expensive. This year, I’ve gone out and bought everything I’m going to need for this trip. It did set me back about 40000yen, but now I only have to worry about lift passes and food.
The area I’m going to is also famous for the Yuzawa Onsen. The area is packed with ski resorts, and Yuzawa provides a series of amazing spas where one can unwind and soak their aching muscles. We are driving down tonight and staying until Monday. If it is anything like last year, it will be a blast.
