Finally hit the slopes this year after a year absence. Sure did feel good, after I figured out how to use my new damn Flow bindings, not bad feels a lot better than the old skool style, just took some time getting used to it. Headed out to Banshu Tokura with Kayo via bus for a whopping 5000yen, about 50 bucks. Not bad of a deal since it included a 2 hour bus ride, lift ticket, and free lunch. I am too lazy to drive and damn gas is expensive now a days! Snow was nice, it was holding up and the weather was not too cold. Just cold enough to have the "yukidaruma matsuri" snowman making contest. On the kiddie slop, there was a big blow up dog, with kids in full force, looks like a elementary school set base there. The resort was super small as it had a whopping 3 lifts, kinda like Snoqualmie but 1/2 the size, but it got the job done as I was playing snowboard instructor for the day as poor Kayo was learning the ropes of snowboarding or maybe it was falling and falling and falling. I remember those times! But she did good, just like all those other people I brutally trained. Its a boot camp and if you want to learn how to snowboard you have to feel the pain, ha ha ha .. no pain no snowboard! Hopefully back to the slopes next week for more snowboard boot camp!
