Sutorenjaa In Japan

Last week in sports...

So, as some of you may know, I started snowboarding this year. Hoorah! Something to pass the weekend times in cold weather. I have found ONE good thing about the snow... well its kind of cute on the trees so, maybe the SECOND good thing about snow. But that's it. I still stand firm with my negative opinions of snow and cold. SPRING & SUMMER COME QUICK!

I've been boarding for the last few weeks now. I go about 2x a week, but seriously, don't think I'm any good, cause I ain't! It's just really convenient here! :D There is a place about 30-45 minutes from my house called Imajyo 365 (http://imajyo365.town.imajyo.fukui.jp/index.htm). It's only open to snowboarders at night, but it costs about 2000 yen (less than $20US!) and is open from 5-9:30pm. Only about 2 of the runs are actually open at night, but they are small gradual slopes and perfect for me to practice on!

This is a little something I did when I was trying to learn to carve. :)

There is also a jump. The advice I got was to get a little speed and then go for it. Yeah. And the landing??? NOTHING! But I tried it last week anyway, with disasterous results.


Don't worry! I was totally fine. There was a good amount of powder so it was a pretty soft landing. But it looks like I just kind of went of by accident! Haha! Well, I got a bit of air which was nice :) I'll work on it and hopefully have some better clips later.
Bye for now!
