2012/13 Niseko Trip 二世古之旅

This was the first time we went snowboarding in Japan. And we went to one of the best spots in the world - Niseko. (31st Jan 2013)
第一次去日本滑雪.  一去就去了世界上其中一個最好雪的地方 - 二世古. (2013年1月31日)


This was the chair lift going up to the mountain top. Pretty cool, isn't it?
單人吊車前往雪道的最高點, 那裏有最爽的粉雪.









It was an eight-days trip. Six days in Niseko and then two more days in Sapporo.
這次旅程共八日. 六日五夜在二世古, 再留兩日在札見幌.

Welcome to Hokkaido! @New Chitose Airport
歡迎來到北海道! @新千歲機場




















We took a CX direct flight from HK to Hokkaido which saves us a lot of time.

Plenty of luggages, with our own gears of course. (Photo by Kim)
行李一大堆, 當然包括我們的滑雪板裝備.


















We took a bus from airport to Hilton Niseko Village. It's around 7pm when we arrived there.
從機場乘坐大巴去二世古希爾頓酒店. 到達時已是晚上大約七時.

The great thing about Hilton is Ski-in-Ski-out!
希爾頓的好處就是一出門就是雪場!

This is right outside the Hilton. The building is the ticket and rental centre, as well as the gondola.
一出酒店就是雪場. 面前就是售票處, 租裝備和纜車.

Took a photo before going up.
上山前先拍一張

Up and up. Thicker and thicker snow.
上呀上. 雪愈來愈厚.

The visibility was very low on the 1st day.
You can see the left hand side guys fading away in just 20m.
第一天的能見度非常低, 只有20m左右.
圖中可見最左邊的人已開始模糊不清了.



Smile~!
來, 笑一個~!

這張拍得超有feel~

Got lost? Was it possible not to? (Photo by Kim)
迷路了嗎? 在這樣白茫茫的一片裏有可能會不迷路嗎?

The first day was super misty. Visibility is less than 20m.
Not to mention it was our first time here. We rode very slowly on the upper mountain.
We even lost each other in the mist. Luckily we met again in the canteen.

第一天的二世古超級大霧. 能見度只有20m不到.
加上我們第一次來這, 在山上時基本上都是在慢慢溜.
後來還失散了. 幸好在食堂再重遇上.

Funny photo - all three of us making similar gesture (Photo by Kim)
有趣的相片 - 我們三人都一個姿勢

Actually we were taking out the map - it didn't help at all.. lol
原來我們都在把地圖拿出來看 - 但其實作用不大.. lol

Hey watch out!
小心點!
