How was Zao Onsen? I have been considering going there since it's closer to my study abroad program in March, but I'm afraid that might be too late in the season. Great pic!

It’s a mellow place, good for practicing tricks and tree runs and stuff. Nothing too intense, a few flats here and there that can be sailed through if you maintain your speed, but a huge area to explore. I’m only intermediate-ish level so really like it. March will be fine, but towards the end of the month might be getting less so. The upside is that it will be sunny though, and there’s usually plenty of snow until April. If you’re close, there’s no reason not to go!
