Okunakayama Kogen Ski Resort
Derick had Monday off and I didnt have to go in until 2 so we went skiing for the morning! We went to Okunakayama Kogen Ski Resort! It is a smaller resort so half a day was a perfect time and the tickets were only 15 00 Yen or $15!! I also got a new filter for my camera... its a "circular polarizer" it makes sky bluer and enhances the colors outdoors... it also reduces reflections on surfaces like water or metal! As you can see the sky was pretty blue to start with... this is actually the first time I have seen blue sky while skiing! its normally snowing! You can also see the lift line... nonexistent... with one person on the slope! it was great we had the whole mountain to ourselves!
"Watch your step! Slip! Slip! Slip!
On the top of the mountain
I kept trying to go down to take a picture with him but he kept scooting further and further away... arg
hmmm... that is a funny shaped cliff
They had a slalom course set up and we all went down! super fun! here is Derick going down!
Derick decided he wanted to try snowboarding! Thank goodness he did, it provided some good laughs... he did better then anyone else I have seen on their first time though... I will put video on facebook!
A hard crash on Dericks part!
I think his brain got bounced around a few times!

Looks like if Derick had scooted much further away from you that he would have fallen off what looks to be a cliff behind you.
