Before I tell you the story about our trip to Niseko, I would like to introduce the characters in our adventure- the crew, the NISEKREW 🙂  ( Follow our hashtag on instagram haha!! 🙂 )
 We are a group – the Boston / East Coast College group – that gets together every now and then and of course every Christmas!  I and some are not really part of the group but we are spouses 🙂  So the group gets bigger with spouses.
Last December 2014 we had our annual Christmas dinner at Hole in the Wall Century City Mall  
There was a snow globe outside Hole in the Wall and these crazy guys blew it up ( since it was closed already ) and they entered! 🙂  Who would have thought we would be in this same circumstance but with real snow??!!
On exactly January 20, 2015, Â inspired by Chut’s and Steve and Cherina’s trip to Niseko that Christmas, Â an idea in our WhatsApp group came up to recreate the skiing trip of the Boston/East Coast group in Killington, Vermont and do it in Niseko! Â This was 25 years ago!
We planned the trip from then on and met up several times in between 🙂

  The soon to be wed couple!  Chut @chutster and Kim. So glad they came along!!! At first Chut said he could not make it but last minute he came!! YIPEE!!!  It was because of Chut that we are in Niseko.  We were inspired by his trip 🙂
 Another reason why we are in Niseko!! Steve and Cherina Sy!!! They were also in Niseko that Christmas and because they had been there, they helped in the planning and organising of the trip!!  Steve is our official photographer and is responsible for all the beautiful photos you see here
