Friday morning and I woke up earlier than usual on a work day, which Fridays usually are. But today I had a day off 🙂 Still I had to be an early bird to catch the Shinkansen train to Nagano.

At Nagano I and Shimizu was picked up by Saito-san and the three of us was on our way to Shiga-Kogen. About an hour’s ride and we met Mash-san and Hachobori-san at the Prince Hotel West in Shiga-Kogen.

First things first… We checked in. Rented a snowboard for me. And had lunch. Then we were off enjoying the slopes on a very fine day’s afternoon.
