Welcome to Jangle Jungle, of Hagashine City, Yamagata Prefecture. Me and a couple friends from Tohoku University headed up to the mountains to a snowboard trip this past Saturday, just to chill out after finals. We began our journey from Sendai City by bus, and in total it took about an hour, or two hours top, that i don't really remember. By the time we got there, it was starting to snow pretty heavily and the surrounding was all blurry. Here is a few snaps from the trip. It was just too cold to take many photos on the hill. I simply didn't want the tips of all my ten fingers to be exposed to the risk of frostbite. It hurts, you know?
Anyways, it was my first time I've actually been out in a real snow with a snowboard. Yes well, frankly speaking, at first I didn't have any idea as to what to expect next. I could hardly contain my excitement, but i was quite scared at the stage when my body was showing pretty bad balance on the board. I kept slipping and tumbling down the snowy ground, hurted me a few times. But still, it was lots of fun. It felt great when i was being able to master the 'zig zag' trick, and i could say that i passed that part stylishly, THOUGH it is just one of the simplest kind. And till now i can still feel the pain in my joints and my muscles is sore. Hope that my body will recover quickly by this week, or else i'll have to crawl to the airport to catch my flight home.
