The end of an Hokkaido era...

Let's just say that the snow has been a little lack luster during the past week or so. So, Chris and I rented a mini J car and headed north on a sweet road-trip adventure. Ended up at the end of the Earth (well the Northern tip of Japan) and then ventured back to Sapporo where we are now. So beautiful along the journey. Hit up a few ski hills before the road trip and decided that the rental car was the way to go given that the snow at our last ski hill (Asahikawa) looked good from afar, but was FAR from good. The temp on our last ski day was 10C! Not ideal. Hiking up to the steaming active volcano at Asahidake was so amazing though. Well worth the trip up there for sure. Flying to Tokyo in a few hours to take in the lights, mini skirts, punk style, pachinko, dead animals, busy subway stations, crazy lights, fish market, hopefully some more karaoke and then we are outta there. Fastest trip of my life. What an experience!
