Disney Day

Hey Siri, what’s the best possible way to spend a day before driving to your ski resort?

Why not relive your youth and spend it at Disneyland!! ✅

After a long flight, which was tackled absolutely no problem by this lovely lot we had a beautiful dinner and hit the hay for some much needed sleep.
Up and attem this morning, off we went to Disney Tokyo! Catching the famous Disney parade, Conquering Thunder and Splash Mountain, and picking up some questionable but memorable paraphernalia.
What a beautiful morning and afternoon before hitting the road for the much anticipated Hakuba.

Eight young people pose in front of Cinderella's castle at Tokyo Disneyland. They wear casual clothes and some have souvenirs around their necks.

Welcome to Hakuba!!

Wow wow wow. What a morning. After an evening of getting settled, snowball fights and some pool, it was lights out ready to hit the slopes tomorrow.
Some snowfall just in time for these kids to experience the famous Japanese Powder. A beautiful start as we got the groups sorted, making sure everyone is happy of course. Roll on the coming days.

Halfway Point

As we hit the halfway mark, this is normally where kids start to get slightly tired. What can we do to fix it? How about a full day on the snow before a private Taiko Drum Performance? WOW.

Penultimate Day

the buzz was well and truly back after the Taiko drum performance and off we went to hit the slopes. What is the best possible scenario in Skiing? It’s got to be an unexpected Bluebird day!! A cloudy morning as the guys warmed their legs up just as the sun began to break through. Another stunning day for all involved. Lots of off piste, small jumps and plenty of carving underway. Some incredible skiers on display.
Make your own pizza night followed by campfire and hot chocolate lays ahead. Another amazing day.

The Last Hoorah

After a fun day yesterday topped off with some musical bingo to keep the energy up, we arrived this morning raring to go. The sun came out to finish on a serious high as the guys carved through the slopes like professionals. Each group progressed amazingly well right up to the top of the mountain! What a way to wrap up. A bit of much anticipated Tokyo shopping lies ahead tomorrow.

Goodbye Hakuba

A bright and early 6.30am departure saw these kids up and attem. With a breakfast under our belts, off we went. We had an absolutely beautiful stop at Matsumoto Castle to break up our journey.
