Going for a Ski lesson





During our lunch break the girls decided to take a ski lesson. (Although 2 of them had previously tried snowboarding.)
Decked out in rented ski gear, and lift passes in hand they started off towards Mt Yokote. I went along as the camera man!!
When we got there they were taught how to get onto and off the lift.
As they all got on they screamed!

Once at the top the lesson began.
I however had to trek back down the mountain as i had to go back to work.
How they went i do not know. Hopefully they didnt hurt themselves.

Okushiga kogen.





It was my day off today, so Meg and I went out for the day.
We caught the bus to Hasuike and then caught the gondala from there.

Went went all the way to Okushiga kogen, on the way we had lunch at a ramen shop near Prince hotel.

We then caught the bus back here which took an hour.

It was a good day for sight seeing.

The weather was great today, so I thought I would go snowboarding.
This picture is taken on the way up the Yokoteyama ski lift.

On a very clear day I have been told you can see Mt. Fuji.
Unfortunatley we couldn't see it today. (v_v)

A group of 13 people, (originating from India, living in Japan) came and stayed for 1 night.
They joined a group skiing lesson, but the next day only 2 of them went skiing. The others all went and saw the Monkeys.
At the moment the monkeys are very popular

Phir Milenge!  See you again


On holidays in Shiga kogen are the Vogan family. This picture was taken on their last day, they were making their way to Hakuba from here.
Hope you have a good time. Please come back again soon.
