Day 1 in the books, APPI ski resort in Iwate Prefecture(岩手県). The first day of the season is always interesting because if you are a normal snowboard going person its been 6-8 months since one has seen or been on snow. The first few turns are a little off and the board feels a bit weird, but as soon as you can feel a little speed between you feet it all comes back. Today was no different. New board...which by the way I fully back the Flying V, Hybrid rocker/camber combo on the Easy Livin. Its the Future forsure. Anyways, back on riding. The Mountain was pretty good with a Gondola Ride that went to the top which lead way to a 5km course runs. A couple of fairly steep sections and even a few "face shots" just off trail. So stoked to be riding again.
Lunch.
Empty parking lot.
After lunch a ran into a couple of guys from a local shop in the town of Towada.
If you live in and round Misawa please support this shop. It is a true core speciality shop and is what keeps snowboarding true. These guys only carry the best product, Example: Burton Snowboards
And that goes for all snowboarders, please support your Local shops around the world.
The rest of the afternoon was spent mashing around the mountain with these two.
