Today we handed in our staff phones and apartment keys and left Kutchan, the place we’ve called home for the past four months. Its been so great working a season here. We’ve made some great friends, eaten some amazing food, and got to board in some of the best powder around. Thank you, Niseko.

We’ve now got 9 days to explore Hokkaido before we venture to the mainland for a quick trip to the capital, Tokyo.

First stop, Sapporo. We visited Sapporo together earlier in the season for the snow festival, and Stephen came more recently on a boy’s weekend, but we’re here now to be more like tourists, visiting local shrines and temples, tasting local cuisine, and most importantly attending the first major baseball game of the season – Fighters vs Lions.

Stay tuned.
