For years i used to go back to Canada & try to explain to my ski friends the amazing experience to be had shredding in the **Japan Alps**….*“It`s like heli-skiing in BC……..but off of lifts….& for 40 bucks a day!!”* It sounded too good to be true & at best i got an *“umhmm……..right”* for a response. But “the word” *(which the Scandinavians & Aussies have known for a while now)* is definitely getting out in North America. Proof! **Hakuba** is the cover story of this Octobers`**[ enRoute Magazine](http://enroute.aircanada.com/ "Air Canada to Hakuba")** *(which is Air Canada`s in-flight publication).* Last February we had the pleasure of showing these talented BC boys some of Hakuba`s best restaurants, onsens, surrounding sites, & of course **powder snow**. The fruit of which is this lovely article that captures nicely, both the quirkiness & magic a trip to Hakuba has to offer*….& great pic of **Morino** member Manami on the front cover! That was taken at [**Hakuba Highland Onsen**](http://www.hakuba-highland.net/onsen.html "Hakuba Highland Onsen") (which has one of the best views in the valley) if you`re wondering.* Click below & scroll to page 79 or….**[Click here ](http://issuu.com/spafax/docs/air-canada-enroute_october-2014/79?e=2135800/9551873 "Air Canada to Haneda")**to go straight to the story. ![Oct_Hakuba_3](/uploads/general/legacy/2014/10/Oct_Hakuba_3.jpg)Enter the Zen….or the big mountains.![Oct_Hakuba_8 (1)](/uploads/general/legacy/2014/10/Oct_Hakuba_8-1.jpg)Monkey paparazzi & Tsugaike crepes.![Dinner at Shirouma So](/uploads/general/legacy/2014/10/Oct_Hakuba_5.jpg)Dinner at Shirouma So *[**Shirouma So** ](http://www.shiroumaso.com/english/ "Shirouma So")is a lovely hotel near us with a private Onsen & traditional dinners.
