The Skiing at Happo


I have spent that last 4 days free skiing and slalom training at Happo ski resort in Hakuba, Nagano. The skiing here is absolutely incredible. It feels like spring skiing every day: blue skies, warm sun, and perfect fluffy snow. The first two days skiing here we got to ride some awesome powder and the last two have been spent getting in some great training.



 This is our group at the top of the mountain.


The 1998 Winter Olympic Games were held here. Being in this city, I understand why this would make such an amazing Olympic City. The people are very friendly, the scenery is breath taking and there is a lot of culture to be experienced. At Happo, the ski jump, cross country, and downhill events took place. Being a ski racer, it was pretty cool to see the Olympic start and ski on the trail.




 Talk about paradise. This wasn’t so bad to wake up to every morning!
