Last season the last time I went out was the first day of May. Snow was crap but it was a good feeling to still be able to board even in May.

Just back to Japan now after 4 weeks away. Very spring like.

 

I will probably get anoter 4 or 5 weeks in before I give it up for the season.

 

Then the traditional July board at Gassan.

I went to Hakuba 47's last day last season that was May 5. It was quite busy, and you could still board right down to the bottom, though there were massive moguls all over Route 2 as well as Route 3. Lots of people were camping in the car park, which I thought was a bit strange seeing as there are hundreds of better places to camp in the area. I seem to remember some hikers laden with backpacks walking up the middle of the course, and lots of paragliders lower down on the Goryu side, so it's not your usual day out.

 

I've got a boarding friend working up at Tateyama this spring, so I'll probably head up there once the Alpen Route opens. Hopefully someone will have built some jumps by the time I go.

Until I can, basically.

Although funds are at a distressingly low level right now. frown.gif

 

Have to take some of that chalk up the mountains and do some eikaiwa at the top!
