We have wanted to go to the Snow Festival for so long! After finding some cheap flights and getting a hotel reservation well in advance, we were so excited! The excitement was totally warranted. The snow scultures were amazing, Sapporo's food was so delicious and the snow tubing was terrifying!

Kyde is addicted to sudoku right now!
