Transworld Snowbording Japan’s special issue “Famliy Snowboarding” is now on sale. There is a 6 page article of “Super Kids Session” which was taken place at Mt. Norikura backcountry in past May. The cover is Jake Burton Family and articles are for families such as; family stories of famous pro riders, “how to”s, etc. It is on sale for 880 yen at book stores around you!

It would be the time that you would get all your gears for the coming season by now. We have BURTON DOMINANT 150, 154 for our special rentals. Either size has both regulor version and special jib version which the center edges come inside of the sole called “SLICK”. Come and check it at NORTHSTAR!

We got more snow. Some of our staff could not wait for riding.

We got snow around NORTHSTAR lodge. Should we ride bikes in the snow or snowboard?

It is getting cold here at Norikura. We are fixing park items both for our yard park and for the park in the ski resort. Are you ready for the coming season?

BURTON LTR Clinic was taken place in Tokyo. It was for how to manage as a LTR center, actual lesson management, etc. Also met Michiyo Hashimoto and Hayato form Kirara Kamp, Mr. Sugimoto from Dynaland Burton Snowboard School. We will get more LTR boards this season and waiting for you to come and ride.
After the clininc, visited Trans World Snowboarding and talked about the special issue “Family Snowboarding”.
Since there is no good picture, I just put a pic of myself with snowboard boots on, LTR manual and this mothe Trans World Snowboarding.

We had MTB guide meeting on Oct. 30-31. About 40 people of MTB guides, pro riders, shops and medias came.

Of course, we rode during the day.

Then we had serious meeting at night.
