Snowboard weekend
This weekend we finally went snowboarding. We left Atsugi at 23:00 and arrived the next day at 7:30 in the morning, perfect to get rental gear and get onto the slope. The gear was crappy and old (I would need a 1.80m snowboard, but the largest they had was 1.56m) but really cheap and sufficient for the rather flat slopes we had there. The snow was perfect, slopes were extremely well prepared and not very crowed, so everybody was happy with them for the two days we had to explore them. In the night to Sonday it even snowed so we had fresh powder snow :-P. 
On Saturday there was some kind of festival and apart from electing "Miss Skiressort" they had some bingo game. Our Kasai-San organized 20 bingo cards and we were quite successfull, as we won the first (red wine, JinSouk), fourth (apple pie, Kasai-San) and 26th (apple jam, me) 35 (apple jam, YuHuan) :-)
After the first day of boarding we hat a very nice dinner. As it is very custom for Japan, part of the food (some kind of vegetable soup with chicken) was cooked by yourself right on the table.
The hotel was right next to the slope so we could board to the lift right from the entrance.
Sitting in hot water after a straining day of skiing is perfect for relaxing you muscles. Luckily the hotel featured an outside onzen :-P
It still needs to be cut propperly, but here is a first version of most of the usable video footage from the weekend:
