Hey! It has been so long since we have updated here and it is time that we start working on it more often. So here goes a brief update of the things that have been going on... We were having a pretty awesome winter, enjoying taking time snowboarding with friends and just enjoying the pow. I was going out every week and was progressing every time out. Our last two weekends going out together with a group we went to APPI Kogen, which is a pretty large resort with a lot to offer for all different skill levels, Christy was doing really well and we had a great time!
I had the chance to go with my friends Paul and Mukai-san to the Hakkoda Mountains at the Ropeway where the hardcore Pow Hounds go for their backcountry riding! The trip there proved just how much snow falls up that way
Here are a few pics along the drive:

I had a great time riding on the one lift groomed area that was there that had some awesome snow!
Brrrrrr..... I had the first green thing pop out of my yard yesterday and felt like I had been given a piece of paradise!
