The 7-days Hokkaido tour in Japan has much to offer in the hobby field. Out of the 39 members of the tour group, only 6 participated in the ski act. Of course, everyone of them is a first time doer. Eventially, all of them succeeded doing it gracefully. The instructor ( our tour leader ) was pushed to the side and buried in the snow because he's to make way for a novice to pass-by him. It was lots of fun for the participants and I have to stand by in case or at least to take pictures for 3 hours on end. Cheers
