1/5 Hakuba Happo and Blance Takayama Ski
1/5 Left around 3:30PM to Hakuba Happo and stayed at P3
1/6 Had ski lesson (Immediate Level) to learn how to parallel turn. The instructor (Oomori) wasn't really good in explaining things but good in demonstration, which we followed. My ski improved quite a lot at the end of the day. Happo, is quite a challenging course and the beginners course is actually an intermediate course.
1/7 Ski'ed only in the morning as i had a slight headache. Travelled to Blance Takayama Ski resort in the afternoon.
1/8 Spend the night at the P1 area. The temperature measured -15C that morning, the lowest so far and frozen the sink faucet. Took a telemark lesson (Igor Miller instructor) for the whole day and found it very challeging. The instructor was great in teaching the fundamental and was able to ski with relatively good pose at the end of the day. Left home that evening.
