Winter Vacation Plans

This winter vacation my family and I are going to Hokkaido to go skiing.  It will cost a lot of money, but it will be worth it because we all love skiing.  I have been a skiier since I was about 8 years old as I am from Pennsylvania and we got a lot of snow when I was young.  When I was a teenager, the large snowfalls we used to get stopped.  We didn't know why, but the ski slopes made snow.  It was not the same as the natural snow, so we didn't ski very much for around 6 or 7 years.  Then, the snows started up again, and we soon had too much snow once again!

We are planning to go to Kiroro, a lovely ski resort not far from Sapporo.  It is a huge resort and covers much land in Hokkaido.  They have about 5 or 6 hotels, each one different, and they have many different slopes ranging in difficulty from kiddie to beginner to intermediate to advanced.  I've challenged the advanced courses before, but it was too difficult and therefore not enough fun.  I decided to stick to the intermediate courses and to get good on those.  This would be naturally encouraging for me to develop my skills more.  This became my new endeavor, and because the slopes are not too difficult nor too easy, it's fun and always a pleasure to go skiing!  Energize me!
