Sliding down the snowy slopes

We have spent the last few days just snowboarding and having the best time ever. I have really improved and I can properly snowboard now! At the beginning it was pretty hard but I practiced everyday and I got a little bit better everytime. I was able to catch the chairlift to the top of the mountain with my friend Edie and we came down together heaps of times.
When you get to the top you have to jump off the chair and quickly do your boot up. And then it's one fun ride down the mountain.
I went on a few different runs but my favourite was the first one that I went on. By the end of the week I had mastered all the green runs. Dad was proud of me.
We really just did the same thing everyday whilst we were in Hakuba. Just snowboarding and then at night I hung out with my great friend Edie. We just played and chilled together. We also had lots of onsens together. One night we ran outside in the snow with our togs on! We did a snow angel on the ground and it was FREEZING! We jumped straight into the onsen after this.
Snowboarding was heaps of fun and I was really happy to be here for a whole week. Our lodge that we stayed in was awesome and I loved sitting in the massage chair in the lounge each day. I also loved having lunch at the skifield every day with Edie. Our favourite was 2 Pepsi, chips, beef and rice bowl and a slice of apple pie! Everyday the same and everyday we loved it!
It was so amazing having so much snow around us and I especially loved it when it was a sunny day, but there was still heaps of snow everywhere. I loved walking through the crunchy snow, throwing snowballs, making slides and just being in it for every second of the day.
We have never really been in snow before, but I would be happy to come back to this place again! Watching the snow falling from the sky is really cool.
I think that this week might be the funnest time I have ever had. I was so lucky to meet Edie and spend the week on the slopes with her and so so lucky to just be in the snow.
I give the last week 1000 out of 10! It was so exciting to try something new- even if it was a bit hard to start with.
Dad was really good and taught me how to snowboard. Frog was amazing and went right up to the top in the trees. That would be way too scary for me.
Snowboarding is the BEST! We were all about bit sad when we had to leave on the bus today. We caught a bus back to Nagano for a couple of days and back to a city with no snow. It was raining and still pretty cold. Mum took me to Starbucks for an earl grey tea. I wasn't the biggest fan, but mum drank it. She got a matcha latte that was bright green! She said it tasted like a cup of hot seaweed. I guess you could say it wasn't our cup of tea!Leia mais
