klingon - yeah they were wind forecasts, there is like a weather monitoring station up on the mountain
nagoid - I started at Gala as a complete snowboard noob. By the end I was getting into ground tricks and park jumps etc.
It is pretty much spring here in Yuzawa. Most of the snow is gone. Few of the staff went up to the ski resort via car the other day through IshiUchiMaruYama and had a last snowboarding trip. This was when the resort was closed so no body up there.
