Kumiko Taki Professional Snowboarder & City Council Member

Session with Ms. Kumiko Taki at the K2 backcountry meeting.
Maybe it's been about 20 years since I've been on the snow ...?

                    * While overcoming the mash that was in the tight gap

The first one was ARAI, the first time I planned
"ARAI Mountain snowboard camp 1994"

Kumi-chan is one of the many coaches I spoke to at that time.
Relationship from there.
In addition, Masanori Takeuchi, Mitsugu Toyoda, Bernard Yoshimura, Nosei Uemura, Tomoaki Ishikawa, Kazuhiro Ishikawa, Maki Okuyama
Many professional riders at that time also participated. (Titles omitted)

At that time, I wanted to raise the Japanese standard.
I wanted to express the feeling of the world I've seen in Colorado.

So, ARAI's snowboard camp, which invites top Japanese professionals, is
The pipe is the first Dragon in Japan, of course, one-make jump (table top at that time)
And I also wanted to have an iron rail.

Rails weren't popular at the time,
Welded two guidelines for the gondola station building that was left over and joined them together.
I completed my own iron rail for the event.

I was happy to remember Kumi-chan until that.

At this camp, Kumi-chan won the JSBA All Japan Snowboard Championship,
In the same year, he ranked 11th in Canada and subsequently won a prize in Europe (For details, go to the official website
Of course the halfpipe was good, but
As expected, Ride rider, this self-made iron rail was also rubbed.

Now,

Landslide is a world where the age and experience speak for themselves.

Kumi-chan, who has a lot of experience points, has a different speed in the tree.

She is both good and beautiful, and is still one of her fans (bitter smile).

* This kind of feeling may be similar to MASA-san (who has appeared many times in conversation).

Kumi-chan is currently working as an administrative worker and a member of the city council.

I want children to make more use of the blessed snowy environment.
We are working to create an environment where people can enjoy lifelong learning.

When you see it in the mountains, please wave your hand to Kumiko Taki and support her.
