A pic from the 28th of November 2015. Last seasons winner for picking the first day was Steve Williams.
Here we go again. Each year we run a competition to pick the first day of the season. The rules are
- The first day the lifts open for skiers and boarders at any one of the resorts in Hakuba.
- One date per person. If 2 or more people choose the same date then we will have a draw out of a hat to choose the winner.
- The date must be chosen at least one week in advance
- If a date isn’t chosen then it’s the closest date before.
The prizes are
- Your choice of a Monkey Rider hoodie or White Horse Long sleeve T
- 5000 yen voucher at the White Horse Bar and Restaurant in Echoland.
So go to the bottom of this blog and put your date in the comments section or email me HERE and I will add it. Good luck. Remember that the resorts will open as soon as there is enough snow on the ground so it’s pretty much any time now. Just waiting for THAT storm.

The competition is still alive. Nothing open as yet so put your guess in. I failed with the 25th of November. Close but no cigar with some snow but not quite enough.
10 December!
Yes picked it! 20 days till I’m there to enjoy it!
Soooooo, who won?
