Im in Hakuba

2 Days with the web design team

Had George and Izumi up to talk about the website and try to make them see why Hakuba is such a great place. They work really hard and were snapping pictures within 30 minutes of walking through the door.

Look them on the normal Minagata morning ride and they were stoked. They did really well and we all had a great time.

George snapping some pictures so you can actually see me for a change.

Free meat and Soba, plus a jump event.

After a rainy ride and some Coffee it was back out to enjoy some family time with the kids. Hannah my little girl was away for a few weeks visiting the family before the busy season. Wow kids grow so fast, she is running, smiling and pretty much becoming a toddler. We had a good time eatting lots of free food.
