Happy New Year 2004
Well what can i say..Yes it's been ages since my last post but alot has happened and i've been busy celebrating the festive season the New Year and Riding in some lovely Powder Snow! OH Yeah it's been tipping down here for about a week or so.. and everyday it just gets better!
Happy New Year to all my Family and friends, i hope you all had a great Xmas/New year... I know i did! Yes i got very drunk and dont remember much from New Years eve...
Here in Niseko they have a celebration on new years eve called the "countdown Party" where a pack of people ski down the mountain with fireworks strapped to their backs... i vaugley remember it ;) as there was free "Nihon Shou" Sake being handed out... i do remember the hangover i had the next day though.
I just looked out the window and it's kinda hard to see as the snow is falling so heavily! another early start tommorow... I usually get up around 8.30/9.00 and try to get on the mountain before 9.30/10.00 but when it's snows like this i have to make the extra effort to get my lazy arse out of bed at 7.30 and get on the mountain at 8.30 for the first lift and fresh tracks! - there's been to many occasions though when i've dragged myself from bed after 10am as a result of late nights and good "Nihon Shou"...
