Day 111 - Shiga Kogen - Another great spring ski day at #Kumanoyu. I am so lucky! Not much else to say except that I had gapao rice for lunch at the lodge… thought it was a weird menu item for a mountain resort 🤣

Day 110 - Shiga Kogen - Yay! 110! Back at #Kumanoyu again today. The pistes were not quite as smooth as yesterday but the weather was just as nice. All the spring skiing is goving me a taste for the way the pistes go from rock hard rocket 🚀 first thing in the morning, to slightly softer but awesome carving pistes, to very soft slasher spring pistes - all in a matter of two hours. It was a blast.

Day 109 - Shiga Kogen - Took three days off to relax, bake, and meet friends. Today I went up to #Kumanoyu and was really impressed how well they’ve maintained their pistes despite the lack of snow and unbelievably warm weather. I got in 10 km this morning, and got reminded of just how beautiful it is here.

Day 52 - Shiga Kogen - Totally forgot to post this yesterday 🫢 First time to Kumanoyu this season! Conditions and weather were super nice but at 9AM an many bus loads of Middle and High School kids arrived for a ski trip. Apparently there were 450 of them 😂 I headed home early for some errands.
