Iwatake Ski Ground


January 2-5 found DH and I up in Hakuba ski are.  Great ski conditions and we found out that new regulations let those over 50 ski for a big discount.  When we become 70 it will be free!  But when I looked around at the skiers taking a break in the lodge at lunch time it was quite shocking to discover only one other person who looked older than myself!  Where are the senior skiers?  Probably off sitting in some hotspring?

Found you again!

Much better, and I can click on the pictures now to see them bigger!

Blogger also has days when it won't let you load pictures but up till now it has always recovered in a few hours.

As for elderly skiers, we usually go with my FIL and at 80 he can ski the pants off any of us!!
