Up in Morioka!

Anyone here near Morioka? I live about 20 mins out of the city (to the west). Can't wait to get the board on soon.

It took me about a month (6 or 7 times) before I started getting confident and (slightly) cocky about my progress. First time was a nightmare for me - my buddy took me to a place that was not good for beginners. Spend the day being angry cold and wet, a bad start. Go on a nice day, nice gentle slopes with a good patient teacher.

Snowboarding for 3 seasons, this'll be my second in Japan.
