snow country

Woke up to heavy snow this morning. The kind of snow that sticks and builds up quickly. Time for skiing. Time for snow shoeing. Snow country!

The nearest ski slope is 20 minutes inland at Takayanagi. Mt. Kurohime is home to my favorite Isonobe climb and also a nice little ski hill. Perfect for Luke's ski debut.

Living this close to a ski slope and with a mother who is a qualified ski instructor, both Luke and Mark should be on the British Olympic ski team in 15 years time. They've got to be better than Eddie the Eagle!

Luke was happy on skis. Mark seemed to enjoy the sledging too.

Winter cross training starts here. I'll try to sneak out early for some snow shoeing tomorrow...
