January 17. 2011 our little snow monkey

We decided to make lemonade out of this freezing cold winter and took a day trip to Gala Yuzawa in Niigata prefecture for some snowboarding last month! We went by train last year but decided with Rain it might be better to drive.
This was the beautiful view we got driving there - Fuji-san!!

We (I) got pretty nervous as we were getting closer to the resort because there was a LOT of snow and the roads weren't plowed very well, but we eventually made it even though it took a bit longer than we would have liked.

Rain checking out the slopes with daddy... no we did NOT strap her in carrier and take her on the slopes (though we saw some Japanese people do it last year!) Rain and I stayed in the lodge while Shane boarded. Yes, I'm the best wife ever... by the time we got there it wasn't enough time for us both to board so I took one for the team (and was happy to do it for him!)

The best man I know!

Breathtaking

Rain's first gondola ride!
