We had a great time in Niigata. We skied for three glorious days, and partied for two spectacular nights. However, I really should have remembered it was my first time out this season. I ended up hobbling around most of this week due to the agony of 筋肉痛（kinnikutsuu), or muscle pain. I was also stupid enough to try out one of the beginner ski jumps. Let’s just say that when ass and head end up in reverse positions, things did not fair well.
I did notice one thing about skiiing in Japan this weekend. I learned that no matter where you go, whether it is a crowed Tokyo street, a packed bullet train, or even the top of Mount Fuji, you will find a mass of people. Playing dodge person with five hundred other skiers and snowboarders can make for a stressful run. I only slammed into three people the enire time, so I suppose it isn’t all that bad.
