Snow...

Coming from Utah I had some pretty high expectations of what kind of snowfall I would see in Japan. Well they were met and surpassed. We have had almost 2 meters or just over 6 feet of snow in the past 5 days and it has just been insane. I woke up this morning to sunshine and about 15 minutes after breakfast  it was absolutely dumping snow. Got about a foot in between then and now, currently the sun is back out a bit. The weather is extremely volatile here but it makes for some good scenery and a nice change. 

The lodge has been very busy, but the riders have come out of the woodworks and winter has officially begun. Even our cook Ryo threw down off a stump turned 20 foot cliff drop. Should have a pretty epic video in the next couple days of the Black Diamond crew shredding in the mean time here are some pictures...enjoy and sorry for the delayed post :) Also did a virtual tour of the lodge which you can check out here on facebook: Virtual Tour of the Lodge
