Michelle and Andrea's Snowboarding Attempt-Take 1

When Michelle and I are together we can always guarantee a very random, unorganized day of fun. So, on our second day of vacation she says, "lets go snowboarding!" and i say..."uhh, sure!" both of us not knowing how, or where...i found a place in fukushima online and so we planned to meet in koriyama at 8:15 am which meant i had to get on the 6 am train...woo hoo! michelle got on the wrong train and got to koriyama just a few minutes too late to make the train that we were supposed to take so we decided to eat breakfast because we had an hour to kill...i also took her to Jupiter which is the foreign foods market in koriyama station. she was so excited that we lost track of time and ended up missing the train AGAIN hahaha so we had yet another hour to kill...and we said that if we missed that train that we just weren't meant to go snowboarding that day. this time we made sure we were there 20 minutes early! haha...we got to inawashiro station and it was just snow EVERYWHERE it was beautiful!!! we found a free shuttle up to the resort and it was just a 15 minute drive to the mountain :)











it was too much fun...i'm addicted now and we're planning a snowboarding trip for next week sunday!! hopefully we'll have a bigger group this time. the weather has been really nice recently and so it hasn't been snowing as much (which could be bad!)...whether it's global warming or climate change it's been a really mild winter in japan. on the news they were saying how this is the first year that they had to import snow into hokkaido for the snow festival because there wasn't enough snowfall this year. crazy huh!? well, i'm not complaining...
