蔵王
今年はなんとなく蔵王に行きたかった。とういうことで先週行ってみた。
山形駅に着いたら雪が全然なかった。送迎バスが迎えにくるはずのだが、結局送迎ぼろいバンが迎えに来た。
新幹線ってかっこいいね。
荷物をホテルのフロントに預かり、スキー場に直行。リフト券はICチップになっていて、15回で3500円。
飛び降り禁止。。。
自殺コース。
樹氷はちゃんと樹氷のかたちになっていなかった。普通はこんな感じです。
現地の人によると、雪は通常と比べるとの3分の1以下降った。
やまの上には雪は奇麗。下におりると雪は溶けたかき氷状態に。
一日のスキーが終わったら、お風呂は最高ですね。ここの風呂はなかなかよかった。
食事はいまいちだったけど。
食事が終わったらお風呂場に戻り。。。
これなんと言うでしたっけ？足風呂？めっちゃ熱かった。
泊まったのは蔵王国際ホテル。風呂は奇麗だったけど、かなりぼろいホテルですね。顧客対応も悪かった。また泊まりたいと思わない。
次の日は滑る予定だったのだが。。。
妻が転びねんざをToT。パトロール隊の人たちは親切すぎる（嬉涙）。一日中は現地のクリニックで。
天気はとてもよく、スピードを気持ちよく出す人はかなりいた。そんな中、けがした人は続出し、クリニックでは20分ごとに人が運ばれて来た。

Looks great!
Doesnt look that busy either.
Nice to see you saw sense and didnt risk skiing in your clunky trooper cozzie!
Shame there's been no snow in Tokyo though. Snow is hands down my favourite weather.
Hope your wife's leg is better now!

Skiing Trooper. Would love to see that.
Heh, I'd hit that suicide slope. Not too steep or wild.
And at least you weren't skiing on ice. That sucks.
Bend the knees, cushion the bounce.

I miss the snow. Here it is March and I was out cutting the lawn. Last time I skied, I had my poles stolen! Cost me a pretty penny on the fee because they were rentals.
Hope your wife is feeling better.

the climate is definitely changing for the worse, you can notice that everywhere, some days are so hot in Brazil that you have to walk around carrying a mobile electric fan to stand the heat or avoid to walk outside in certain hours of the day.
I imagine myself jumping on that snow to cool off.

Lots of snow here.
Even if it is cold (-13°C tomorrow!), it is much less than last year. Winter came later than usual too.
It may be more pleasant not to deal with fierce blizzards and frostbite too often, but I am worried about the long-term effects of human activity on the planet...

XD I think the term "see" is not the best then? Will "I haven't heard from you for a long time" be better then? XD
To be honest, I kinda liked his posts from way back when I was still a lurker....
That post of his is over 2 years old. It seems many people are not noticing Danny's older posts being added. D_blade hasn't posted yet this year,check his profile to see his last comments lol.

Drat! fooled by this post last year ^^; how embarassing. was wondering why Danny's comment below was in the old "answer everyone in one post" format. ^^;;;;;;;;;;;;;;
thanks for letting me know Gordon. I guess Danny's wife's ankle would be 100% better now. lol

Dammit.. Tch embarrassing indeed. I was fooled by that... I guess Danny is laughing his pants off right about now... Arggh, better get some sleep. Not to mention that marvin was caught in the trap too. Okay this is officially something to remember. "READ CAREFULLY"

Looks so peaceful and relaxing, just the sort of thing I need right now. Both my fiancee and I have been working our asses off since the beginning of the year.
I'm sure you both had a nice time. Sorry to hear your wife sprained her leg. Hope she is doing well.
Dam it's been so long since I been on skis, probably would just tumble down the slope. ^o^ ^^; I did try snowboarding a couple of years ago.
It has been a freaky winter. I think the weather here in Michigan has changed a lot since I was younger. Thunderstorms in the middle of winter and all these ice storms was unheard of here in years pass. Probably proof we are screwing the planet all to #ell.
Ugh, with the windchill it's -21 C right now.
Danny, I have always been a big on trains. Would you consider adding the photos of the N4 MAXs to wallpaper. The image number is 5369. Thanks...

it hardly snows in australia but australia's weather is always random, since it could be sunshine one minute and next minute hailstorms or thunderstorms. i've nv seen it actually snowing before so i would love to go to a country like japan during winter and just sit and watch it snow n enjoy the negative temperatures =D

I'm surprised that there's so few people there. Here in Australia it is quite busy during winter. Every time I go skiing it's quite crowded.
I love skiing, skiing in Japan looks really good. The onsen looks appealing, would love to relax in one after skiing for the whole day.
The only thing to look froward to here after a long day of skiing is a shower and then sit in front of a fire.
Well I'm not complaining, as long as I get to ski.

OMG what a coincidence my mom sprained her ankle skiing a couple weeks ago. Got carried in one of those things too. ^^; Funny cuz she broke it on a California black... which is equal to a Utah blue! Maybe the blacks got harder this year.
Mogles (the bumps on the suicidal slope) are easy once you learn how to navigate them. They suck away your energy lol.
At my favorite ski resort, I like to bring ramen and a thermos in a backpack and find a secret place by a beaver trail to eat it with friends. Totally forgot why I still live in Mimiland.
Not really a coincidence considering the post is from 2007. ^_^ hehe

Summer in Brazil, and it's hot even on the city I'm in right now, a city that is considered one of the coldest ones in the region.
Well, I've seen snow like... 3 times in my whole life, and all of them as a kid... so zero experience with skiing.

I haven't skiied but I have gone snowboarding once with my uni friends years and years ago. Wasn't very good at it to be honest, even though I thought I'd be ok at it since I've skateboard before. From experience and talking with other snowboarders, it's more like surfing than skateboarding.
Love the snow and wish we had a white Christmas here in Australia sometimes. I think snow is quite romantic. But we have to go up to the mountains for it, which is about less than a few hours drive from the city.

mmm it looks like the onsen was reserved just for the two of you lol.
As for me, I never tried skiing, wouldn't mind trying it tho. In the meantime Ill stick with my trusty snowboard :)
but yeah, Zao looks like a good place to hit the slopes and then relax in the onsen...mmmmm
大学生
Ahh. Looks so nice!
Never had the chance to Ski. Almost went the last time I was in Japan.
I see you managed to sneak a camera into the Onsen! Haha.
I love Onsen! So relaxing and healthy.
Student
That suicidal slope doesn't look that bad. It might be because I'm a more experienced skier though.
Student
To be honest, I'm more of a snowboard person than a ski person. >_>
My friends and I usually head up to the ski resorts in Colorado on the weekends, it's usually a 30-45 min drive to some of them.

Don't even start about the snow in Vancouver. It's been above zero and raining for two straight weeks and it's STILL on the ground.

Wow! That place doesn't look busy at all. And it looks nice. Sorry to hear about your wife's injury. I will be going to a packed ski resort this Sunday.

The trees did look cool on the other webpage full of snow. Hope your wife has forgotten all about the ankle injury now. Great snow pictures and no thanks about going down that one hill, I'd wait till the snow left and do it on motocross dirt bike maybe.

I skiied before and nearly ran into somebody. Same thing happened with snow boarding. I rarely go into the mountains although you could probably get there within a few hours drive from the San Gabriel Valley. Onsen + snowy mountain must equal heaven.

it looks great to be skiing in that kind of weather. I do really miss the snow since NYC gets no-little snow during the winter. Can't wait to head back to campus, snow accumulation goes up to 8 inches at least.

Thank you for the nice photos. For myself I never was skiing. It looks like there is no compulsory wearing of a helmet needed? Now, the most of the German skiier buy helmets because an accident of a political who crashed hardly into a woman which died - she had some children. Skiing is dangerous ^^ But that is not the reason why I dont ski, I never had a chance to =)
Good for you wife that she is doing well.

I see a lot of folks live in places that don't get snow. Well you aren't missing much. It may look very beautiful, but it is extremely cold here right now, we constantly have to shovel out around our house, have our driveway plowed out, and worry about wrecking going from place to place, etc. Not too mention anytime you hit your body on something and it is cold outside it hurts ten times as much. And my window is slowly being covered by the icicles that now seem to be over 5 feet long! They do look really nice i will admit. Well i suppose it helps me to appreciate summer/spring/fall much better than if i lived somewhere that was always in one climate mainly.

No 2 planking for me. Snowboarding is better for the knees and body.
Student
I do ski, but usually not on the slopes but on the straight ground. We don't have big mountains here and so I don't get to ski on the big slopes. But the onsen looks very nice, would love to gos someday.

I go snowboarding soemtimes, but no skiing for me.
But the funny thing is, around here global warming doesn't seem to be working. the last week the temp's been -25 to -35 C and we've got plenty of snow. Last year we broke records for the amount of snow we had!
Went skiing only once. Went snowboarding only once. I think I did ok as a beginner. Only fell once while snowboarding...although I fell pretty hard.
For both of them, I normally just go straight down...yea not really stopping...so watch out whoever is in my way >_>

I am lucky, living close to some of the best skiing in the world. In fact, one of the top World Cup events is held at a nearby resort named Beaver Creek. I was there last weekend zipping down the same course as the pros (though not with as much speed!) Sadly, as others have already commented, times are changing. Colorado is in the tenth consecutive year of drought, and snow totals are down again this year.

It's kinda hard although during the season in polish mountains... thousands of tourists getting in your way >_>".
And of course it's hard to find a traditional Japanese onsen full of man xD
As for snowboarding a definite NO! I can't imagine my both legs tied to one board...

I've never been skiing and I don't particularly like cold weather so the chances of me ever actually going to ski are about zero. But, the resort did look tranquil.
