This past weekend we went snowboarding up at Biwako Valley. It's a ski resort up about 30 minutes north of Kyoto in the mountains along Lake Biwa. On a clear day, you can see down the slopes to the big lake, but we unfortunately were not there on a clear day. The advantage of that was that the snow was fresh and good. I haven't been snowboarding since the first time I tried it about seven years ago on a Saturday at Breckenridge. It was super crowded and I just had to keep falling down to stay out of other people's way. This time I had a much better experience. After the first couple runs I was getting the hang of it and seemingly staying in control. I only bit it real hard once. Anyway- here are some pictures of us at Biwako Valley.
This is at a train station along the way. We don't really know what's going on here.
This is a self-pic on the lift. We didn't notice the person in the background at the time, but it looks pretty funny in the picture.
These little people were so cute.
Here I am shredding it up.
Here is Dan on the gondola.

"Little people" don't want to be patronized like that. Just treat them mlike you treat regular sized people.
