The atmosphere in Hakuba Valley was buzzing with tourists, including both professional skiers and families introducing their children to ice skiing for the first time.
The entire area was enveloped in snow, with flakes falling more heavily at that moment, adding a serene beauty to the landscape. The thick blanket of snow covered everything, turning the valley into a winter wonderland, with trees and structures layered in white, creating a picturesque scene straight out of a holiday card.
"Come on, Talon…" Crystal was visibly excited, a stark contrast to her usually reserved demeanor. It was clear she thoroughly enjoyed this setting.
