This is the 20th SBN "OFFLINE EDIT *"!
Many encounters were born, many memories overlapped, and many legends were left behind in SBN OFFLINE EDIT.Among them, "Niseko" is one of the most popular venues.
Actually, the first OFFLINE EDIT was also "Niseko".Yes, the memorable 20th meeting is at the origin return "Niseko Grand Hirafu"! !!
* OFFLINE EDIT is the name of a snowboard tour held by SBN, and is a service that provides a place where snowboarders gathered on the Internet (ONLINE) can actually slide together on the slopes (OFFLINE).A total of more than 19 snowboarders have participated in the past 600 tours.
Now, let's report to high tension this time as well!
Meet with the Haneda departure group at 6:30 Haneda! "Ozasu!" "Are you an SBN TOUR?" "Nice to meet you ~" Say hello to the customers who are gathering one after another and distribute the tickets.Are you nervous for the first time?Yeah?I'm unexpectedly familiar with it.Well, I communicate in advance on My Page.
By the way, when everyone is together, go to Airplane!
There are people who are scared of airplanes again.Please be quiet.
Arrived at New Chitose Airport in no time.Is the local temperature -14 degrees Celsius?
But the inside of the airport is warm, so I still can't really feel it.
Free time for a while until the departure time of the bus.
"I'm going to buy'Ja ○ Pokkuru'"
I see, it's a limited quantity product.Everyone is used to traveling.
The customary self-introduction term on the bus! "How are you?!"
This tour is a fresh BOYS (?) & GIRLS (?) With half repeaters, half newcomers, and half men and women.
Tsuka, everyone has a strong character!The bus, which has become friends with us, is in a state of excitement without a break.
Arrived in Niseko!The pension minibus will welcome you.
The name of the pension is "Hirafu no Iriguchi".It's like a mountain lodge with an atmosphere, and it's spacious dining and floor heating.Moreover, there is a poster of E.YAZAWA in the board storage area.
Last year's owner liked Hamada, is this year Yazawa?Niseko is a rock city.
Change clothes immediately and go to the slopes.
According to the weather forecast, it seems to be the coldest wave this winter, and the maximum temperature is -9 degrees Celsius?In other words, the slopes are full of snow like potato starch that doesn't get crunchy!The snow quality is already such from the gondola platform.The upper one is ... Wow!What a wonderful snow quality!
Focusing on the King XNUMXrd Triple, attack the powder of the left and right trees.It's snow that doesn't harden even if you enter the truck, so it's light and light no matter how many times you enter it.The course is slippery, and the left and right hit points are super fun.
This time, three staff members are holding a movie camera, so movie sessions will start here and there.Well, everyone will skip from the first day.
At 17:30, we once met at the slope base.It's time to eat at the pension.
The menu on the first day is shrimp chili, beef stew and salmon roe bowl.
How much is a bowl of beef stew with shrimp chili?
It's a mysterious combination of menus, but it's a chair!OK from.
Do it "Hirafu entrance".
After the meal, we separated into a night game corps, a hot spring corps, and a Lawson corps and had free time.
The night game corps is on the slope of -14 degrees, and another movie session.
The hot spring corps relaxes at the hot springs of "Hirafu-tei".It seems that the girls were the first to talk to people on the slopes from the open-air bath.
The Lawson corps bought alcohol and snacks and had a drinking session at the dining room.I'm here too ...Dangerous!These people are super omoloy more than last year!
In addition, the hot spring corps also joins in a high tension that is impossible.Even if the pistachios roll, it's funny, even with the nostalgic nata de coco.
"How many people go to Early Morning?"
31 out of 26 customers want early.Isn't everyone really great?
A total of 30 people will be early with the staff.
On the slopes maintained at night, the no-track with fresh snow blasts all at once!
It feels so good that the juice in my brain is fully open.
The latecomer is the first gondola rider, aiming for the first view course.Sure enough, no track
This one feels good too.After all, no-track powder is unbearable!
The early corps and the gondola first corps also joined, and we went to the view again.There are still no tracks.Moreover, the snow is super light.It's not easy to fill, it doesn't fill up, and even if you fall, you can make a full turn and start sliding immediately.
Then, move to the Hanazono area.Here, we are divided into the Hanazono Free Run Corps and the Powder Expedition Corps.I lead a powder expedition.
"Yes, everyone. From here on down, the whole powder is powder. Moreover, no matter where you go, you will come out on the course, so please slide with confidence. Be careful not to hit the tree, then let's go!"
I will slide down first and spray up one after another toward the staff holding the video.Already, everyone is crazy, smiles even if they fall, smiles even if they are buried.Obviously something is flying.
Enjoy what you can do with fluffy snow, such as a mash jump tournament with strawberry on the Hanazono slope and a front flip trio from the corridor to the powder landing!
Of course, it goes without saying that the course is fun enough.
By the way, at lunchtime, we have reserved a restaurant at the Kogen Hotel, so everyone is gathering. Relaxing lunch time in the area labeled "SBN-sama".Everyone, I'm already excited about riding in the morning.
After finishing the meal, when you head to the gondola platform, is there a beautiful woman waving?
"Thank you for your support" "Oh! Mari-chan"
What a special guest Mari Mizukami is jumping in! !!
Climb the gondola and go to the flower garden again.I will slide with Mari and the powder expedition team again.
The powder expedition will board a single lift to the peak.Unfortunately I couldn't climb the peak due to poor visibility, but I traversed to the side and attacked the open burn powder from the middle to the flower garden!
No obstacles wherever you slip!I have a truck, but I can't take my legs off!It's as if a herd of animals is moving a lot as it descends all at once.
The corps with Mari will run the slopes while witnessing a professional slip.
The course and powder are the best!
And everyone who is tired is hot Godiva time.It contains alcohol, so it's fluffy.
With the hot Godiva corps on the side, Mari and the slip corps, which became a small number, went to the point of Naisho.
"It was a little ridiculous."
What!You've done it!There was such a delicious place ...
Well, it doesn't matter how many bodies you have to enjoy everything.
Until the arrival time of the shuttle bus, the high-speed gliding corps on the course where the night game lighting began to turn on.Is the thermometer at the Alpine lift landing -15 degrees?
I don't really understand!Because I enjoyed it.
Now, everyone has a bath after dinner, and it's finally party time.
Gratin and steak for dinner on the second day!Everyone loves meat!Let's go to the bath after getting sick.
I will never forget to buy it on my way home.This is important.
Now, the beginning of pearly time!
Kanpai.Yeah!
After a brief chat, the draft lottery for the relay tournament scheduled for the third day.
Six leaders draw lots one after another.
"I did it!" "Zurii!" "I'm in my 40s again" and so on.
There was a slight bias in the level, so the chairman of the tournament executive committee made a smart plan.
"Well, people who call from now on will have them slip on the switch."
"Yeah!"
However, it's so exciting just with the draft ...
At the end of the lottery, Mari Mizukami reappears!
"Kawaii ~!" "Kire ~!" "Gizakawa Yusu ~!" Heats up regardless of gender! !!
The boy Mari-chan sat next to me has a bright red face, is that okay?
Full of gifts provided by the sponsoring companies.
What's more, the first prize is from NITRO's board death!
Oops, some of the prizes are NIKITA apparel.Of course, the presenter is Mari!
Give the prize and take a commemorative photo together.
So, it was Ai-chan who participated alone from Osaka City who won the first prize board.Yeah, congratulations!
On the final day, about 30 people aimed at early on this day as well.Everybody is well.
I will leave the packed luggage in the rental room of the plateau hotel and slide to the last minute without worrying about it.
Unfortunately, the scheduled relay tournament was canceled due to the suspension of the lift due to strong winds.It was a phantom relay tournament.
However, the snow that has fallen since last night is powder today!
It's okay to have a breeze at the bottom of the flower garden.The powder in the course, the windless momopau in the tree.If it feels too good to slip, I can't go back to the course.
Is the optional tour a hike-up of powder that fills your waist?
The optional hike corps was greeted by the triumphant smiles of those who passed the course safely.But you guys are not the losers!It was a valuable experience.
Ramen with crabs for lunch.Crabs are picked up silently for a while.Oh, I'm satisfied.
After that, there is still time left.
It's full of powder here and there, and it's in a very special powder state.
I went back to the hotel and welcomed everyone, but it was always white.Where did you come
However, everyone seemed to enjoy the powder until the end, thank you.
You will be able to connect with new friends through Maipe and meet again somewhere.
And next year, we will welcome new members and the circle of Maipe will expand again.
See you all who shook hands at Haneda Airport and see you somewhere again!And if it's convenient, let's meet again next year!
Revisit
