Last chance to ride on a lift at a ski resort in Hokkaido for this season! Sunday was closing day at Nakayama ski area and I was able to get up there and make a couple of runs with Safia. I was also able to meet and ride with Daisuke a Mono-skier who I am friends with! It was the first time I could watch him ride on some of his many different Monoskis!
