Dec. 28
We had a snowfall of over 50cm last night.
I went to the mountaintop to try the virgin snow first thing in the morning.
The temperature was -15℃.
The visibility was very low because of the heavy snowstorm.
I couldn’t see about ten meters away.
I couldn’t ski on the gentle slope and I couldn’t find which is up or down on the steep slope.
It was almost accident.
Fortunately, I managed to get the base and found the gondola was out of service because of the snowstorm.
However, the weather was gradually getting better.
I kept skiing during the morning.
The I stopped skiing by noon.
When I stopped skiing, the weather changed.
Oh! No! It was very fine afternoon!
However, It was also nice to drinking beer in the restaurant to see the snow mountain.
Then I descended the mountain before dark.
I arrived at Nagano Station in the evening.
I went to the local sake & wine bar in the station.
I tasted fine glasses of Nagano wine.
They were very nice.
I came back to Tokyo by Shinkansen.
It was a very nice trip to Nagano except the hard skiing.
I want to come to ski again in this season.
