January 18




Well, after 6 days out of the past 7 skiing, we are loving it. The legs definitely required easier runs today. Hope that the snow flies really heavily again and that our legs are ready or recovered for it. We had an easy day today but still keep trying to head out to the powdery or not so powdery stuff. That is more work. And the wonderful lifts - covered chairs quite often and then the antiquated thing that is like a chair without a back. Hang on. We went night skiing last night.. It is truly incredible how far the hill lights up at night - bigger than Sunshine or Louise, I would think and that is just the stuff available at night. The light is really very good for skiing and it looks like a fairyland lit up. ....you really can't ski too far out of the main runs though....tough when your legs are screaming stay on the main run and then I will perform for you. It was mystical watching the snowflakes fly in the light as you go up the lifts. Then the all inclusive lift pass has a shuttle service that we were able to get back to our accommodation.
Yesterday we skiied hard in the am and then relaxed in the onsen before skiing in the evening. Hardly a moment to eat or rest though the legs are starting to complain. Loving the skiing and would highly recommend it to anyone.
