JAPAN – TOKYO
Leaving Behind Some of the Best Aspen Snow
Ullr doesn’t have any influence over Murphy (Law that is)…
It’s 3:45 am. It’s been snowing for several days in Aspen. Of course, it has. About this time every morning for the last month, I find myself checking the weather conditions for Hakuba, Japan. Snow in the Japanese Alps doesn’t seem to be an issue. That is except for the week prior to our departure. Not only had it not snowed in a week but the forecast was calling for rain. A lot of rain.
To be honest, I didn’t have high hopes for hitting the powder lottery nor did I really care. I’ve been fortunate enough to travel to Japan twice in the previous year. To say I’m smitten is an understatement. We’ve gone so far as to consider moving there for a summer. So just knowing that I was headed back was enough to be excited about. There is so much to be said about this fascinating and awe-inspiring land. Many have written and conversed about it, but until you experience it for yourself, it’s not to be believed.
