Japan Day One
Today, I was awaken early by the many roommates I have in this small, Japanese apartment. I made my bed and have been sleeping in the closet.
It’s actually quite comfortable. I can completely spread out and shield myself from the noise and the light in the morning.
I made breakfast today with instant oatmeal from the US mixed with green tea, since the water pot had been used to make tea. After a leisurely morning, we headed to the mountain which is about 10 minutes away from our apartment and shredded Grand Hirafu at Niseko for the afternoon and evening.
Here are the guys loading up the car.
Karate kid. Check out the massive snowbank behind me.
There is a ton of snow here and it was snowing most of the day.
Here is Yuki, our translator and guide, and he is a rockstar.
The van was quite full as you can see.
The signs here are so funny (along with many other aspects of Japanese life like the toilets). This one says:
"Miharashi Course, Advanced ungroomed areas (Adbanced skiers only)"
Here’s Adam one of the skiers on our trip ripping though the Japanese Pow.
Here’s what the lodge serves at the resort. Fried Shrimp and vegetables atop Udon noodles. YUMMY!
Here’s our gang at dinner. So good.
Grilled squid. Delicious or Oishii.
Finally, here’s a package of food that I thought was so cute.
Tomorrow we are getting up early to film and go for a ski tour. I’m exhausted from the jet leg and feel yucky. More tomorrow…
