Kagura Snowboard Tour!!
(The Splitters Reunion!!)
(Mar 13,2004)
It is already Spring season in Japan...
Temparatuer in Tokyo is nearly 20c.....
I don't wear coat anymore...
Wheather forecast says cherry blossoms will be blooming in a week!!
I guess it would be the last snowboard tour of the saeson...
ZZ-san, Hase-chan, Tanaka-kun and I decided to go to Minakami for the first and last Splitters reunion of the season!!
It was sunny in Kagura area....
Hase-chan injured his ankel few weeks ago...
So we decided to go hiking up the mountain and enjoy just one nice powder run!!
We hiked up for 1.5hours
and had a hot cupnoodle on the way up!!
it was yummy to have a hot food in snow!
While we are having a delicious noodle,
thick fog covered the area and it started to snow....
Within 30 minuites, mountain was covered nice fresh powder snow!!
The condition become much better than we expected!!
Maybe this was the Birthday gift to ZZ-san from the Nature!!
We enjoyed the nice powder run!!
BUT....this run hurt Hase-chan's damages ankel more....
He took a lift to go back to the parking lot...
Oh we had a great day!!(except for Hase-chan)
After snowboard..what we do?? Of course!!
We went to onsen fot his ankel to heal soon!!
It was ZZ-san's ??th birthday!!
So, we went to our favorite yummy Korean BBQ to celebrate his birthday!!
