Did you find some good snow yesterday? I went to Niseko Village and enjoyed soft wind blown snow and great groomers. I shouldn’t call it Powder as snow is a bit heavy now, but creme cheese is also our favorite:) Hopefully the visibility will get better today and find more good snow!
Today is Valentine’s Day! It’s common for Japanese women to give chocolates to men. Women are encouraged to express love to men by giving chocolates and other gifts. Chocolates are often given to male co-workers, bosses, friends, family members. You can find many different kinds of domestic and imported chocolates at stores. It’s said that more than half of the chocolates sold in a year is sold around Valentine’s Day in Japan.
Calm days are expected for next few days and it will turn to wild from Thursday.
