Today we went skiing/snowboarding in Japan for the first time. This mountain is about an hour away from Hiroshima. The peak is about 3,000 feet so it gets more snow than in town. This week it snowed most the week so there was over a foot of fresh snow at the hill this week. At home in Hiroshima we only got about a ¼ inch on Friday. The weather was warm and pretty sunny so it was a bit like spring skiing. The hill had four lifts. The vertical drop was similar to the resorts in northern Michigan but the numbers of slopes was significantly smaller.
Nathan decided to switch to snow boarding this year. This is his first time on a board. Here he is renting his board. We both loved the graphics on this board. Check it out, it's a kart race!!!!
