Went snowboarding yesterday with my coworkers at GALA, a spanking new ski resort that is really hi-tech! The train station itself is complete with an onsen, sleeping room, recreation area, ski rentals, and a hallway that lead straight to the gondola! We left at Friday night after work on the last train and the Shinkansen was so fast, it took only 1.5hrs to get to Niigata from Tokyo Station. They were still selling the Ekiben (special Train Station bento) which you have to eat when you go on a long trip on the Shinkansen! After getting there at midnight, you can go to the Onsen, then party with your friends in the recreation room and go to sleep quite comfortably at the sleeping room with some zabuton pillows provided, wake up in the morning, go to the Onsen again! I swear the board that I rented were brand new, my fingers hurt just holding the board because the edges were so sharp. We were lucky it was snowing like crazy so we even got the best powder condition! Although GALA is probably more suitable for beginners because the mountain wasn't all that big. But if you're short on time but still want to do a full day of boarding then I definitely recommend GALA and enjoy the hi-tech convenience of Japan.

昨日は同僚達とガーラに 行きました。すっ げーハイテクなスキー場だった。駅の中は温泉、仮眠室、休憩室、スキーレンタル、さらに廊下に通ったらゴンドラがすぐそこ！金曜の仕事後、東京駅から終電 の新幹線に乗って、たっだ１．５時間で新潟に着いた。　駅弁もまだ売ってたのでよかった！深夜０時に着いて、温泉に入って、休憩室で友達と騒ぎて、仮眠室 で座布団に寝て、朝起きてまた温泉に入って、それでも朝早くから滑れる！　レンタルのスノーボードは新品気がした、持つと指が痛いほどエッジが鋭かった。 運がよかったので一日中雪が降ってて、最高なパウダースノーだった！　ガーラはそんなに大きくないから初心者にぴったりと思う。　もしあなたは時間なくて も一日中たっぷり滑りたいだったら、ハイテクなガーラをお勧めだよ！
