JAPAN



I've recently come back from Japan where I turned into a powderhound for 10 days in Hirafu - Niseko. Hirafu is a ski village on the North Island (Hokkaido) and is considered ‘the country’. I can seriously recommend going. Great snow (thanks to some crazy winds from Siberia), amazing food, and heaps of tiny little bars run by x-farmers.

Hanks bar was one of our favourites – a little wood cabin with writing all over the walls. Hank cooks you food on the grill of his open fire, which you can sit round while patting one of his four cats.

It’s still an enthusiast resort . . . I suggest heading over before it get seriously overdeveloped.
