Cliff Bernstein, longtime Japan resident, organized the inaugural Dartmouth ski weekend in Asia, which took place from January 25-27 in Niseko, Japan, at the Mt. Annupuri Ski Resort. The weekend included Michael Kim '90 and Euysung Kim 91 from the Dartmouth Club of Korea and others from the Dartmouth Club of Japan; they hope to have representatives from the Dartmouth Club of China in the future.

Cliff writes, "We will certainly do it again next year. The snow was fantastic and both alumni and families who attended were completely enamored with the resort," which includes a hotel that he says looks remarkably like the Russell Sage dormitory.
