Snowboarding!

Although this season has been slightly spoiled by my broken wrist, I have really enjoyed the times that I have managed to get out boarding. I feel like I've made a lot of progress and have really enjoyed the sociable aspect of it.
Breaking from their usual mountain (Bandai) we had a group of visitors from around the prefecture for a glorious weekend of Minamiaizu snowboarding. It got quite warm beforehand so although the weather was great the snow wasn't perfect, but it was altogether a lot of fun. The sun was so bright that we all ended up with sunburn and white goggle marks around our eyes! I'll miss snowboarding for a while, but am looking forward to going hiking once the snow melts.
