The rest of the day continued as it had started. With snow, snow and then some more snow. Sometimes the visibility was zero but most of the time it was just poor. But the big difference was the snow. Everywhere. A lot of it.

I went up to as far the lifts could take me. But I could not see anything on my way down. Suddenly, though the slope looked flat, I just dropped a half meter.

Once I had recovered I continued and went in to a really nice powder snow area. The snow had drifted and for a while I was going through snow up to the middle of my thighs, and splashing up on my torso and head (picture below is further down and taken during the few minutes the sun could be seen).

It continued like that the whole day. In many places the snow was knee deep. And though it got a bit bumpy it was soft bumps. Just had to use the legs as a damper. Like back country in the slopes 🙂 Why does a little bit of snow make you so stupidly happy?

At some times I just turned off the slope and into the woods and it was pure joy. Soft powdery snow that just felt like if you were riding a warm knife through butter rather than riding a board (OK, maybe a stupid comparison but I don’t care on a day like this ;-)).

Now I am just back from the hot bath. I am feeling quite happy and tired. Just waiting for the restaurants to open. I think I am being lazy today again so I just stay at the hotel. Probably try the same as yesterday, An-Non, but maybe just order a few dishes less today.

[update] I did not really manage to order less today. First I had buri (yellowtail) sashimi. Then wagyu kalbi (tender beef) with some salad. Finally I ended the dinner with grilled salmon. I am a Swede after all 😉

Now I am almost as full as yesterday and I am on my bed thinking if I should call for massage as I did yesterday. It was really good for my butt and my legs that had gone a bit stiff. But even though I have been riding the board in deep snow the whole day my butt and legs feel much better than yesterday.
