dope weekend

I was psyched to get the chance to get away this weekend and checkout a place I had not yet explored. Took the Wagon out and drove south for a few hours to Fukushima prefecture and up the mountains to ALTS Bandai resort. Surfing the information super highway, I randomly found a room with two meals and lift ticket all for about $115, so I had to jump on it. The hotel was newly renovated this summer and was slick as hell. The meals were viking style with both western and Japanese styles available. The bath was dope as well, all Japanese-accented modern style. The second day, I rode at the resort and got to hit up their super-pipe and kicker. So tight, reminded me a bit of Breckenridge. The weather was actually a bit hot, and it's definitely spring season riding. This weekend might be the last of it. After that it's off to Miyazaki to say what up to Luke. Workin on getting a ticket back home for the summer, but it's peak season and finding anything under $1200 is gonna be tricky. But hopefully I'll be able to make it back, otherwise, it's off to Beijing for the Olympics, yeah! I'll put some pics up laterz.....
