    #JaPow is a real thing among skiers, and my guesthouse was filled with skiers from around the world! When I initially planned my trip, I had no thought of skiing, but curiosity led me to investigate, since I had 2 weeks planned in the country. When I realized how affordable and accessible it would be, I was thrilled. Everything about Japan was amazing, but the skiing will really stand out in my memory. I've now retired all of my winter sports equipment except for snowshoes. I can't afford a major fracture at my age. At that point, I'd still been skiing most years.

    Skiing is a magnificent way to enjoy winter and it's the closest sensation to flight that many of us will ever experience. Even so, I've decided that it's finished for my aged fragile body. So happy that my last real skiing was in Hakuba Valley, Japan. I had no idea that #JaPow was such an amazing phenomenon!
