Winter has caught a second wind and blessed us with yet another bluebird powder day! We did more riding than taking pictures yesterday. It was too epic to stop!

Powder Hounds tucked their tails between thier legs today as Hakuba skies dealt a snowfall smack-down.
Too much snow?!!! How dare we say it!
