Missing you deeply, TJ, from the snowy slopes of Niseko. Three winters have passed since I've seen you, and watching the families here teaching their little ones to ski breaks my heart. I always dreamed of showing you these mountains, catching you as you learned your first turns.

I hope you're loving the winter sports with your mom and Andrew. Every time I ride up these lifts, son, I imagine you here beside me, pointing out where you want to ski next.

With love from Japan,
Dad
