12月最後の週。

2007年度は一昨日が仕事納めで、昨日から帰省してます。

それと、直接ご挨拶出来なかった方々、この場を借りてですが、今年も大変お世話になりました。

皆様、良いお年を。

The season for company holiday gatherings. I vary year to year on how I want to celebrate the season and ring in the new year.

Made from Bali. He's busy cooking.

Sometimes, its something big. But this year, I wanted to keep it intimate and fairly chill. We had a dinner at our neighborhood spot, Bar Mar, and it was just good food, good drink and good times. This turned out to be an awesome night that went WAY later than it should have. But I guess that's a good thing. Keep your eyes on Yui for some photos.

などを赤ワインで!


Very nice and humble guys. They are my life force in Osaka.........

I like people who make funny faces when they are photographed. She is cool and down to earth and really sexy and a great person.

Good laughs all around.

A truly amazing riding experience here. This has been the daily regiment:

5:00am: Alarm goes off.
6:00am: Actually get out of bed.
6:30am: Get hooked up with Shinta and Tomoko. Then go back to room to change and get ready.
7:00am: Myself and a few others headed north for some deep powder riding.
10:00am: At least 30 minutes of stretching is a good idea.Then ride until around 4pm.
4:40pm: Heading back home.
7:30pm: Home cooked dinner. Good laughs all around.
8:00pm: Your choice. A combination of cards, Sony PSP, and passing in and out of consciousness? Or all of the above!
10:00pm: Passed out in a coma.

今回が初滑り。良いシーズンスタートでした。

A runway in the middle of nowhere?

Fukushima: Where the snow never stops.

そして、イマイチ雪が少なかったけど初滑りとしてはまずまず。
十分楽しめました。


2 hour's drive from Ibaraki takes you to this winter wonderland.


If you want the fresh stuff, you have to earn it.

Snowboarding is like life: If you want the good stuff, you gotta go find it yourself.

We were luck to have even made it here because of the blizzard conditions. But I am glad we did. This place is really amazing. But if you are into serious riding...come to Aomori/Hokkaido.

来年も宜しくお願いします。
