Daily’s Snow Report

  
I’ve improved I think 

More natural and fluent and not so nervous.. haha

Today, there was abit sun, but quite windy, blowing up snow from down resulting a totally WHITE-OUT this morning

Can’t see a thing..should go slow especially when driving

I think I’ve mentioned this before that I am sponsored with winter gears to prepare myself heading off to Niseko.

 I’m sponsored with ski boots and ski gear by K2 Japan. 

So here’s my boots and gear looks like. I din’t get to choose the design but kinda satisfied to what they have sent me.

Fulltilt ski boots
Cute colors~ 
2009~2010 new model!  Love it 

Actually I was given to try Sally at K2 office in Tokyo but the size was too small for my big foot. And they told me that they’ll send a bigger size boots to Niseko and asked me to retry it.

When I collect the boots, I was surprised to see Booter instead..

I thought I like Sally but kinda love Booter more now..

Booter matching my Sweet Luv

And, Sweet Luv matching with 3 Karat pole 

 I’m sponsored with Snow-Wear by Burton If not, I don’t think I’ll be here…

I’m offered 3 pairs of outwear and etc. Here, I chose everything myself in their Harajuku branch. 

 The White Collection – Women’s Riding Jacket (Sea Green) & B by Burton Novak Pant (Canteen) & Burton Leather Pipe Glove

Burton Elevation Jacket (Hibiscus) & The White Collection Women’s Skinny Pant (Bright White Siouxies Plaid)

 with Solace Goggle (White Pink)

Burton Lush Jacket (White) & B by Burton Novak Pant (Pink)

I was actually posing for my brand new shoes I bought after having a whole week of cold freezing feet with my Tokyo boots walking on SNOW!  

All white Sorel water-proof, cold-proof boots I put it on straight away in the shop and feeling heavenly comfortable, fit and WARM 

I love this coordination  White Pink White  

 Here comes SOYJOY

I was given 14 boxes with 11 bars in one box of SOYJOY 

SOYJOY is my favourite diet bar~
They have increased to 11 flavors now~

Love most them  Can’t tell which I love the most~

A SOYJOY a day, keeps HUNGER away

You know what, it does really keeps me away from hunger nowadays especially when I’m still not too used to the environment and work-style over here in Niseko.

It still seems to have kept me going on to work without breakfast most of the time and all I have is a SOYJOY every morning~

Love SOYJOY  since I had it the first time years back and can’t imagine now I’m having the whole loads of them for the winter! for FREE~haha

I’ve got Lavazza coffee beans, pen and mug too as part of my prizes.
I thought I’m gonna have free nice coffee every morning… 

not souvenir kinda.. 

Anyway, I’m still having the beans to make coffee by my own self 

I’ve got 2 nights stay as prize in Four Season hotel in Tokyo also. 

I live in Tokyo though..

But 5 stars hotel should worth a try 

Besides, having all the sponsorships, I’m having free SKI lessons  for the whole season as well

I’m lucky   It’s not easy to get ski lesson and I’m experiencing it now~

Ski has not been quite attractive to me and I’ve ever thought of learning ski in my life..

…and ski or snowboarding looks hard and dangerous..

But YOU’D LOVE SKI OR SNOWBOARD when you’re here in NISEKO  

It’s influencing 

They are absolutely the cool sports to try on!

You’d fall in love watching experts ski-er or expert snowboarder rocks on the mountain even though most of the time you’d never know…are they a Prince Charming or a Shrek coz they’d be covered up so much with goggle and wear.

See this to get the feel that I’m trying to tell 

Cool eh

Tell you what, some of these cool guys are in the same house as I am in now. teehee

They are all ski and snowboard instructors from NISS, Niseko International Snowsports School! 

And, I’m on my way to be one of them.

17 December 2009
Today’s Snow Report

Snow falling Non-STOP for the past 4 days! 

And this has lead to an GRAND OPENING for Hanazono Ski Resort hoho~

I like this video of all the others that I’ve done so far. 

Coz, Kamonohashi was there and I speak like I am having FUN

Anyway, Kamonohashi is a duck character representing the resort!

You know what, he is a master of Karate, an expert of ski and snowboarding, a crazy dancing king, but just that he doesn’t talk or quack~  kaka

Here some pics of the first few days when I arrived to Niseko! 

Attention

You need to book a bus before you arrived to Sapporo New Chitose Airport to Niseko!
No Booking No Bus  Remember

Cz I was NOT told that I need to book for a bus and I could nearly ended up staying the night at the airport freeeeeeezing! 

Info counter girl told me there will be no bus without a booking and I thought WTF

What kind of a treat is this and they said I’m the winner..

Luckily, there was a bus which was not occupied and I got in heading off to Niseko 30mins later..

Shops at the Rest Stop! 

Outside the Rest Stop camwhoring with snow~!

Hanazono Ski Resort 

Lil’ river near the ski resort 

Yotei Mountain 

View from my room

It snowed on the day I arrived and even heavier the next day. 

But I just did not see why people are saying snow in Niseko is powder.

It was not powder yet back then even though it has snowed.

It was still a lil’ wetty and I thought,

“hmm, so this is the famous powder huh…”

Until today, it has proved me totally wrong

The powder falls later after the rain last Sunday and this place is totally magnificent now

Gonna tell more with more beautiful pics later!!

今日のスノーリポート 

今日もパウダーが降り続いてますよー！

おかげさまで、はなぞのリゾート が全オープンできましたー

カモノハシもつい登場～ 

カモノハシは、はなぞのリゾートを代表するカモです

周りが、ぜ～～～んぶ

真っ白まっしろマッシュマロ～　

ただ今の夢は、

羊蹄山（ようていざん）を登って、

そこからスキーをすること 

なんてね

 日本語でのリポーターになるー  （プロじゃないけど、プロっぽくなるまでがんばりますよー。。）

 パウダースノーが体験できるー 

 スキーヤーになるー  （スキーヤーになるまでまだまだ先だけど。。）

 もしかして、スノボも体験できるかもー  （ボスにスノボもやってみなって言われたんで。。 ）

色々初体験のチャンス

まだ慣れてないところがあるんだけど、

落ち込んだりもするんだけど、

ニセコにいる間の毎日が貴重な体験になるから、

Exciting  （ワクワク）  ですよねー　

新千歳空港からニセコのヒラフまでだいたい2時間くらい。

途中に30分の休憩～

休憩所の中にショップ！

休憩所の外、雪がいっぱい降ってましたまだパウダーじゃなかったんだけど。。

はなぞのスキー場 

着いて2日目かな、雪はまだそんな多くなかった時です。

スキー場の近くにある川 

スキー場から見える羊蹄山～

部屋の窓からの眺め

着いて次ぎの朝に、雪がすごく降ってて、ある程度までつもってたんだけど、

これが例の自慢のパウダーかぁ。。って微妙な気持ちだったんだけど、

私は、違いました。

パウダースノーをなめてました。

ほんとーのパウダースノーを見たら、2度と東京の雪に感動しなくなっちゃいます。。 （今まで、東京の雪でも、雪が降ってきたら、きれ～いって思って感動しちゃうんです。）

パウダースノーで成ってるあちこちの眺めは壮大です

世界遺産に登録すべきだ

って思うくらい。。

写真いっぱい撮るから、待っててー！！

今日のスノーリポート

雪～雪～今週中は全部雪～

今度こそ、ニセコ評判のパウダースノーがまいりましたー 

一週間も積もったら、すごいことになるでしょう～

今日のリポートは以外とよくて、気に入ってたのに、

データーが壊れて、無理やり圧縮されて、頭の部分がなくなっちゃってる。。

まぁいいや。明日、もっとがんばろう！

それでは、今日のパウダーをちょっとお見せします～！

朝はだいたいこんな光景。雪カバーになってる～

この写真スキ！　

雪はステキだけど。。朝が大変。。
