白馬五竜のナイター 滑りて~ Night Ski at Hakuba Goryu

February 13, 2012: 長野に来る理由 Reasons to Come to Nagano

Night Skiing at Hakuba Goryu

白馬は本当に雪のパラダイスです。この冬は野沢温泉や志賀高原の方は雪が多い(多過ぎるぐらい?)けど、イベントの為に白馬に行きましたので雪はたっぷりありました。

写真は白馬五竜のナイター風情です。皆さんが楽しそうにすべていた。私も滑りたくてしょうがなかったけど、今回はインバウンド関係の交流会の目的でした。長野県は中国、韓国、ベトナムからの交換留学生を呼んで、雪の体験ツアーを行いました。県の公式ブロガー・インバウンド大使として私が呼ばれました。学生に「長野のアウトドアーの楽しさをフェスブックでアップして仁」と応援しておきました。

食事会のエンタテインメントは何と鬼島太鼓でした。お正月に長野駅前の時の演奏で出会ってから、私が大ファンになった。

今回は滑らないで帰ったのはいけない。リベンジでまた白馬に行かんとあかん。

Hakuba is truly a winter paradise. This season, Nozawa Onsen, Shiga Kogen and areas further northeast have been getting more snow (almost too much snow!), but I visited Hakuba to partake in an event, and there was definitely plenty of snow.

Pictured is the action at Hakuba Goryu's night ski. All the skiers and boarders sure looked like they were enjoying the slopes. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to join them. I was there for a function put on by the prefecture to welcome a group of exchange students from China, Korea and Vietnam. I was invited as an official blogger / Inbound Ambassador for the prefecture's foreign language website. My role was to encourage the students to blog/tweet/facebook about their time enjoying Nagano's outdoors.

The evening included entertainment by none other than Kijima Taiko. I first saw them perform outside of Nagano Station during New Years, and have become a huge fan!

My visit to Hakuba this time didn't include skiing, so I need to make revenge and come back to ski!
