20240213 Iimori Snow Boarding & Ski Resort

20240213 Today the boys are booked into snowboarding lessons with English speaking trainers, so it's off to Iimori Resort where at the bottom is flat and wide for all to learn relativly ease. There are 6 different ability levels to choose from as well as night skiing at the bottom on the Toomi section so beginners can practice in the evening as well. Unfortunetly Ash has the flu and is too sick to ski so he stays home and spend some grandma and grandson time, if I can get him off his bloody iPad.

I managed to get Ash out of the house and off his iPad for a walk along the ice-covered roads within our area.

My cheeky grandson try's his best to give his Grandma a hard time, as he does but I'm always one step ahead of him.

All dressed and ready to take on the Iimori Goryu slopes, man I wish I could sky.

Iimori Goryu Snow Resort Hakuba is a popular resort named Goryu (5 Dragons) because of the resemblance the rugged peaks of the Japanese Alps have to that of the mighty mythical beasts, well I'm not so sure about that.😕

Hamish and Owen take to the snow for their first lesson on how to snowboard and are quick to pick up the skills, kids are just so resiliant.

After a few quick lessons the boys and their trainer head up in the chairlift to try their luck on the slopes.

Full of confidence after his lessons, Hamish heads up the chair left with his Mum to show off his new skills.

And here they come, Mum and son skiing down the slop's together.

Owen shows off as he learns some new tricks until he lands on his behind but he's quick to recover.

The Winter Ice Sculpture are so cool.

Their are many interesting Ice Sculpture's found around the snow fields.

Down the slopes come's Dad and Son.

Someone is looking awfully confident and after only a few lessons, well done Hamish.

Sharyn taking some time out on the ski slops.

The people you run into on the slopes, Shelly and Sharyn, friends for ever.

Egyptian Pharaoh on the ice, sharyn took this one on top of the moutain.
