Tsumagoi II

Here comes the day I was waiting for, we started with an wholesome breakfast buffet and got on the minivan taking us to Tsumagoi ski resort. Being able to get on the slopes again was an amazing feeling, and this time much to my surprise, I was flawlessly boarding like a pro. I was cruising hard, smashing all these slopes and going at immense speeds with full control over my board on both the toe and heel edge. It was so fun to just listen to tunes while going down the epic mountains with an amazing view of the volcano right in front. I went up and down the lifts again and again. Miraculously, the pain that seemed to always follow was long gone and I was able to surpass my old self by a huge margin. I didn't even need to take much breaks, I didn't want the day to end as I always kept on pushing for another run. It was truly one of the finer moments of my snowboarding season.

At night, we had Korean yakiniku to which afterwards I relaxed for a bit in the room and headed off again to the onsen, to which luckily I had all to myself once again. This day was definitely the best one for the ski trip.Read more
