Snow Jam 2005 Part 3...hopefully not the end....


A week after Yuzawa Nakazato,me and the rest of GS ski/snowboard club headed off to Hakuba Happone in Nagano.The 2 days and 2 nights trip started from my office...yeah,my office.I was glad that i got the morning off so i could escape the morning rush and get my board and equipment thru the subway....or not,i would look like some weird gaijin with a body bag(...it's my board bag...it's long and black),traveling on a subway at 7AM morning rush to Roppongi.So we started our(60 of us) 6 hour bus journey right after office at 7:30PM and we arrived at our hotel,Marukin Ryokan sometime at midnight.The next whole day and the day after that,we spend most of the times on the slopes.


It's virtually office....near the slopes

About the weather condition of Hakuba Happone,on day 1,it was snowing all day and it was extremely fair on day 2...as a result,i got stripes on my face due to the sunburn.As for the slope condition,it was pure powder on the mountain tops until i 'devirginized' them all and it was ice plate almost everywhere on the lower part of the slopes...so if you're not be careful and without your pads on,you'll end up with bruises on your knees and butt.


me...minus the action

overall...the trip was not bad but i should reconsider about going snowboard with crowd of 60 next time.


some of us...

Snow Jam 2005 part 2


wis da folks

It's time to hit the snow again on my 2nd Snow Jam of 2005.The location this time was Yuzawa Nakazato Ski Resort and the 1 night 2 days trip for 10 was proudly made possible by me...the official kanji*.
With a night stay at nice warm logde Villa Arieska which only took 5 minutes to the nearest lift, it was totally splendid place to stay.


YUZA MAN...

On the other hand, the weather on day 1 was rainy.Although it didin't stop us from our board run since the rain didn't turn all the snow to ice,it was not a perfect run.
On day 2,the rain stopped but soon followed by snow which eventually turned to a blizzard.With visibility almost reached a point of zero and on the deck was semi-powder,it was time to stay low and beware of the red flags because.....COWABANGA!!!!!



caught in action

Although the weather wasn't on our side all the way during trip, we had a great time especially with the warm hospitality of the ojisan and obasan of Villa Arieska plus...and last but not least,Collon-chan,always wagging her tail whenever we return from the slopes.


With Collon-chan



What do we do best during long trips...
