Day 6: Board, Board, Board (03/02/2011)

It is always steeper than it looks















After a while even great things seem a little less great. Too much of a good thing...

Apart from good snow.

Japan has bundles of the stuff, and even if there hasn't been any falling since we got here, there is more than enough to go around.

I am poor on a board. And scared. The front edge will drive your teeth into the piste; the back will pile drive your skull until your brains leak out of your ears. If you try to break your fall, you will just snap your hands off at the wrists before losing the teeth or grey matter anyway. That is if you don't fracture your coccyx and have to sit on a rubber ring for the rest of your life.

If you have ever learned to snow board you will smile in recognition at the pain you have to go through to get passed this phase. If not, try it.

Honestly, it's great!!
