After finally arriving in Niseko, Japan after a grueling travel experience,
we had the luxury of soaking in the Japanese Onsens, (japanese hot springs
mineral baths), what a relaxing way to start our Japanese experience. Our
first ski day was amazing, it is funny how ski culture differs but yet is so
much the same, (especially snowboard culture, ha-ha). I will expand on this
more later. We had a fabulous Japanese ski guide, Toshi, who took us all
over the mountain and out of bounds, (similar to going out the gates at
jackson), we skied the silkiest powder snow you can imagine and got tons of
face shots. The experience is exceeding our expectations, the sushi is
grand and it continues to dump. The Ultimate Groove camp officially starts
today, our group is made of up a great group of telemark skiers form Boston,
Berkeley, Crested Butte, British Columbia, and New Dehli, India. We are
looking forward to getting out of bounds again today and getting many more
face shots, stay tuned.....
