snowboard barbie shannon and the beauty of lake kikazako, beneath kash. immediately after this photo, snowboard barbie received a harsh reality check that you actually need some skills to board, as she succeeded in doing at least 2 head over heels rolls during a spectacular wipeout. morgan and simon were impressed. =) |
|
|
our happy gang begins the day at a close ski area who's name i can never remember, so from here on it will be refered to as 'kash.' l-r: simon (clare's brother), james (simon's friend,) clare, and morgan. |

david, craig and mochi's birthday! |
|
|
|
after snowboarding and an onsen, we went to a combined birthday party for david, craig and mochi at an old farmhouse up in the hills. matsukawa taiko played (then opened it up for everyone to have a go) adren's funk band rocked the party, the food was incredible, and an excellent time was had by all. |
