Kids Snowboard Camp was taken place last weekend. 8 kids riders joined the camp. Some of them could clear 5m and 8m kickers in the park. We are hoping them to be great riders someday not only with good techniques but also a good heart.

…and the detail of Spring Backcountry Tour has been renewed. We have more buses to Kuraigahara than last year. The seson will never end!

The winter season is almost ended and I started thinking about mountain biking more. Our director started road bike training from today. Many of MTB filsm have been released already thorugh, finally 3rd film from the Collective will be in stores. Probably Chanmpion Visions will distribute it in Japan. The teaser is on the Collective home page. It looks soooo nice!

We went to Norikura Backcountry.

4 hours hike to the ridge around the peaks. It has been warm and had no snow, the trail was packed and it was easy to hike up.

It was a great weather and tempeature went up to 2℃.

The pictures look good but the condition was not that good. The snow was hard and crusty. It is almost like a spring mountain in May.

But I just put some good looking shots here.

On Saturday we hosted a cool event for SFC Japan. They have a camp here every spring and we do a backyard rail jam. We have a lot of entries and a fun night. There are lots of photos on their homepage so please check it out www.sfcjapan.com.
