January 05, 2009: JAPAN!

After 8 consecutive days of splitboarding I took a day off. It'll be a short break as I'm hoping one or two more days before Blair and I are off on a road trip starting Thursday. We're planning to hit Big Mountain, Big Sky, Jackson Hole and some backcountry along the way. We took a trip to Big Mountain back in 1992 and this will be our first time back. Literally half a life time ago.

So far this winter I've had 16 days on snow. All self powered. 47,620 feet so far. I figured with all the use the split board has been and will be getting I should have a backup plan ready, so I picked up another board - a Prior Spearhead.

I've also officially booked Hakuba today as well. I'll have 17 days less whatever jet lag I encounter to explore the Japanese Alps. Flying solo at this point - you want to come? Drop me a line!
