The first time on my board in 4 months, probably the longest I break I've had from snowboarding in 10 years. So good to be riding again! We went night riding up Hirafu, its pretty much the best thing ever. Finding lines though the trees and side hits and poppers into powder. Anyone who has done this will know what I'm talking about, goodtimes!!
This week we scored the snow, the season in Hokkaido hasn't been amazing but the snow is good right now. We have been up in the passes hiking mostly. No one I'm with has been here before so its cool show them some of the areas we have found in the past, and cool to be filming snowboarding again!
Our accommodation while we are here is a house from airbnb, a small house yet the guy who owns it has every gadget, toy and appliance there is. Like an electronics hoarder, it makes me laugh every day. Some highlights.. 70" TV with everything you can plug into it, karaoke,ps3,dvd,apple tv, other random stuff that I don't know what it does, cables everywhere. Kitchen is real real small,like a maui camper, however has an ice cream maker, bread maker, rice maker, two coffee makers, blender, toasty maker, kettle, mini bench top dishwasher, microwave, there is actually only enough bench space for a bread board. Every power outlet had like 8 plugs coming out of it, he has 4 computer screens, electric guitar and drums, remote control helicopter, model pirate ships, multiple clock's and digital temperature gauges in every room, random lights under shelfs that turn on when you walk past. You could not buy this guy a gift he doesn't have. Anyway its nice to have a house.
