Japan - Niseko, Day 2

Our second day of skiing in Niseko in perfect conditions. We all got a bit better, and a bit more confident, which was probably why Amy and I both crashed for the first time today. But I would go as far as to say that we are all actually excellent skiers, and apparently I am also the best Chinese Poker player that has ever lived.





Today we had lunch up on the mountain in an awesome Japanese ref. I think everything tastes amazing after skiing, especially vegetable curry, rice, and Kirin. I was a bit too cold to try the frozen beer (which had a frozen soft-serve looking head) but maybe tomorrow. We took the gondolas back down to the other side of the slopes.







We took the gondolas down, and Andrew and I tried a different beginners slope. It was fun to try something different, but the family slope is still the most fun.

Andrew and I went to our first onset today at the Vale, not together of course. We pretty much each had it to ourselves until the end where a few other skiers came in. Being snowed on while in a hot bath is really a fun new experience, and of course being naked makes everything better.





Dinner was takeaway from Seicomart and the food trucks in the ski village, Sapporo beer, Hibiki whisky (and apple for me), and a couple of Gudetamas (boiled eggs). And finally, after my 4 out of 5 wins, Kyle has stopped challenging my win and we can all finally go to bed.
