We kicked the day off with some Yoga over at Temple Lodge…. the setting couldn’t have been more perfect. It was just our group and Claire our new friend who is staying with us over at Mu Bali lodge. It was really the first time I’d ever done yoga… it was so incredible. I am going to try and keep doing this when I get back home.
I kicked off the day with an incredible banana crepe and a morning dip in the pool. The next couple hours were filled with reading in the morning sun, conversation and sheer relaxing. After a week of a fairly regimented schedule it was nice to have no schedule and really nothing to do whatsoever. I think I’m going to like this place.
We were up with the roosters and off to the airport. At this point we were parting ways with four of our group, 2 being our Canadian counter parts, Bryn Hughes and Austin Ross as they got “the shot” and were heading back to the Great White North to continue to chase some virgin powder lines. They will both be missed as we are sipping mai tai’s from our infinity pool along the coast of Bali! Thanks for killin’ it you guys, can’t wait to see all your shots Bryn!
After the past couple days of epic skiing everyone is pretty well convinced that there is no topping those days…. So we decided to enjoy a lazy morning and start packing so we could hit the Monkey Hot Springs before rolling towards the bright lights and big city of Tokyo.
Today we ended up making our way back to Cortina to get some tree lines on the backside… you know how sick we said it was yesterday? Well it was DEEPER and dryer today, so good.
Cortina Ski Resort – This day was easily a one of my top 5 days in trees and days on snow…EVER. New snow was waiting for our crew of hoodlums and we made sure that it didn’t go untouched.
Aside from the expected randomness in Japan there are quite a few delights that i’ve experienced so far. Ill have you know that Hakuba, Japan is quite a diverse zone and despite the fact that there hasn’t been a ton of encounters with the local community i feel like we are getting a solid, authentic experience. I guess language barriers are an obstacle but traveling with a group of 10 Canadian/Americans makes it difficult to really reach out. Anyhow, im definitely taking in what i can, checkout my list of some stimulating expierences so far.
