I got a bunch of the guys here at the lodge to help build an igloo in the backyard, goooood times

crazy times so far

Well it has been nothing but crazy with non-skiers in the house these past few days. i think skiers and boarders should be the only people in charge of the world from now on. The eastern Euro's that are staying here are the biggest asses i have ever met. and the australians arent having a good showing on the domestic violence homefront either, to my great dismay. but on to the pictures of the daily grind

Turning Japaneso

This is my first blog so please excuse the shitiness of it.




Got to Tokyo on December 21st and the first thing my buddy Nick brought me to was the famous intersection you always see. This was as close as i was willing to get.






got to my village of Hakuba the next day and it was looking great



The next day it cleared up for some good skiing



















up high i got to see good views of lines to come once mid season comes along





















then it was xmas with Nick, Hiro, Dan, Sam, and the little ones Hanna, Maya and Tyler.
















Yesterday, the 27th, Nick Dan and I got up Above Happo One and did some backcountry touring. it was awesome weather and sweet lines on the menu for the day.
