Kagura Snowboard Tour!! (DAY1)
(Snow, Onsen and Yakiniku!!)
(Jan 10,2004)

New Year is just started!!
and we hear the news about snow storm attacking northern part of Japan!!
What is that mean?
Yes!! snowboard!!
Hase-chan, ZZ-san, Shibata(friend of ZZ-san) and I decided to try "Minakami Golden Tour" again!!"

According to the wheather forecast,
it would be sunny/cloudy....
the snow storm did not stay very long and did not snow much....

So we decided to go Kagura for fresh power tour and contacted Tsuda-san!!
We were little late to get to Kagura parking lot where we supposed to meet Tsuda-san.
beacuse it was freezing cold(-10c)!! and road was all icy and slippery!!

We hiked up to the peak of Mt.Kagura.
It took us nearly 2hours....
Tsuda-san was the oldest but fastest to hike up...
heehee... we need to train more to fit!!

Powder run was splendid had we all had fun!!
Oh we had a great day!!
After snowboard..what we do??
Of course, Onsen and Yakiniku (Please see pictures in MEAT CLUB page!!)

Ready to GO!!
