This past weekend I headed out to Tomamu with about 8 other JETs from around Hokkaido for some good ol' skiing and snowboarding. We left Kushiro at 6am and arrived at Tomamu around 9:30. We boarded almost all day...like 10-7, with a 45-minute lunch break. For not snowboarding for 7 years, it came back pretty easily. I was quite surprised.
We had PERFECT weather. Granted, it was snowing all day Saturday, but it made awesome powder. I fell in love with night boarding, despite the frigid temperatures. We even found an igloo and an ice bar. I'll post pictures of those later.
Sunday morning, I woke up early, went down to have breakfast, and was greeted with this spectacular view.
We hit the slopes from 10-2 and then jumped on the bus to come back to Kushiro and a lovely hour drive home through a blizzard. Needless to say, I'm still exhausted and recovering, but it was an awesome weekend of boarding.
