138. Buttocks backward, flat on the sand and falling into the wild goose pose...
...
After soaking in the hot springs and doing a steaming session, I felt a lot lighter.
In Japan, you must drink a glass of milk after soaking in hot springs. Is it to supplement the nutrients diluted by the hot springs?
After arriving at the restaurant, I found that my mother and Tsuruko had already arrived early. Their skin was rosy and shiny. This famous "beauty soup" seemed to be very effective.
Hongyuan's restaurant provides authentic Hokkaido cuisine, sea urchin sushi, soup curry, seared wagyu... Let the family who just tasted Sapporo's special crab dishes at noon feel the style of Hokkaido again.
Hongyuan Garden naturally also has a leisure club. In addition to hot springs, other high-end hotels also have many facilities. After eating, a few people spent a while in the club and then returned to the room to rest. After all, tomorrow is a day.
When skiing all day long, you need to save energy.
...
There was still light snow early the next morning, but as the sun gradually rose,
It becomes good weather for skiing,
Teine Ski Resort is located on Mt. Teine in the outskirts of Sapporo. It is only half an hour's drive from Otaru where they live. Naturally, the Nagayama family took a special car to the ski resort early.
Teine Ski Resort was used as a sports venue for the Sapporo Winter Olympics in 1972. There are still traces of the Olympia Games inside the ski resort. For example, the five-ring logo has been hanging in the ski resort.
The Olympia area of the ski resort has many wide slopes composed of gentle slopes, which are more suitable for novices. Today, the ski instructor appointed by Naoki Nagayama will teach them skiing here.
As for the snow trails in highland areas, it is estimated that only experienced players can play them.
The ski instructor was a short middle-aged uncle named Miyagawa Riki. After informing everyone of their names, he took them to the ski resort to change into ski equipment.
"Sa, have you never tried skiing before?"
"I used to snowboard when it snowed in my hometown~" Tsuruko said, "I also roller skate~"
"So I haven't officially skied before, so let's start from the beginning." Miyagawa Liyi said with a loud and resonant voice, "Sa, please come with me, slow down, be careful where you step, and keep your balance~"
The following process can be said to be full of strange things, including flat wrestling, fancy styles, etc. I experienced all the wrestling postures that I have always experienced.
"It hurts......"
After one time, Tsuruko sat on the ground with her buttocks flattened backwards and burst into tears. She fell down seven or eight times in a row and was probably going to turn green.
Her mother comforted her softly beside her. Because she was afraid, she never skated very fast or fell down a few times.
In the end, mother and Tsuruko chose to lie down, got a snow flying saucer, and started sliding happily on the snow slope, as happy as children.
However, a few gay men have finally learned how to slide on simple flat ground, and can now dress up a bit on gentle snow.
Seeing his father begin to show off his skills on his mother's side, the eldest brother Aoki said to Naoki: "Naoki, let's go to a higher place~"
Oh, are you planning to challenge the intermediate ski trails?
They are all young people, and this request is exactly what they want, "Okay, let's go~"
The two asked Miyagawa Riki for advice on ski slopes that were not so steep, and then took the cable car halfway up the mountain.
We are already above the tree line of Teine Mountain, and the view is completely empty. You can see Ishikari Bay to the left of Teine Mountain, the sparkling Pacific Ocean to the right, and the continuous snow-capped mountains extending in the distance on both sides. The scenery is breathtaking.
The snow path is only about 20°, extremely wide, and there are fences on both sides as barriers. There are many skiers crossing the snow path, and some people have stopped on both sides to rest because they fell.
Looking down from the starting point of the ski trail, you are still a little scared, as if you are about to roll down, but as soon as you push the ski pole, you can only hear the whistling of the wind and your own breathing, and the world in front of you belongs only to you.
Nagayama Naoki worked hard to adjust his muscles, maintain balance, and enjoy the comfort of galloping freely...
However, I still didn't do it well when turning, and it fell beautifully.
"Naoki, are you okay?"
The eldest brother slowly stopped aside. This guy seemed to have a good talent for various sports, but he fell in love with fishing...
"It's okay, it's okay, the speed is actually not fast." Nagayama Naoki stood up, "I already have some experience in plowing corners, let's keep skating~"
At noon, I had a simple meal at the ski resort.
In the afternoon, my father was completely exhausted and started wandering around the ski resort with his mother and Tsuruko. When they encountered interesting projects, they went to play together, almost as if they were tourist attractions. He also borrowed Naoki's camera and gave it to his mother and Tsuruko.
Tsuruko took photos as a souvenir,
Only two brothers, Naoki Nagayama and Aoki Nagayama, are left to enjoy the joy of freely riding on the junior and intermediate ski trails.
When it comes to skiing, as long as you rush off the track for the first time, the feeling of adrenaline will definitely make your blood boil. Even if it is ice and snow outside, the two brothers are dripping wet after several times...
.
"Brother, do you want to try the advanced ski slopes?"
Looking at the snow path winding from the top of the mountain, Nagayama Naoki was a little eager to try it, but looking at the steep slope, his eldest brother Aoki was more steady:
"Forget it, I'll probably fall badly... Let's try that long snow trail."
Teodayama Ski Resort has a 6-kilometer long beginner ski trail, which is definitely not to be missed by novices and junior skiers.
"Okay, then choose this one!"
On this snowy road, Nagayama Naoki felt the cold wind blowing on his face. The scenery passed quickly, and he could only hear the sound of his heart pounding. Between heaven and earth, he was the only one left...
The charm of skiing is that you can reach very fast speeds with very little effort. The feeling is like lightning, which makes people want to stop.
...
Naturally, we went back to Hongyuan Garden in the evening.
Naoki Nagayama was indeed a little tired after exercising all day, and his knees and legs were extremely sore. However, his mother and Tsuruko, who had been playing there all day, looked very tired anyway.
"Playing is also very tiring, okay!" Tsuruko said confidently, "We have a lot of exercise in one day~"
"Hey...Thank you for your hard work, Your Highness Tsuruko~" Nagayama Naoki teased Tsuruko, in exchange for a small fist punch on your shoulder...
After being exhausted during the day, the hot springs at night were even more comfortable. It was almost like soaking people softly. I returned to the room lightly, got on the bed and fell into a deep sleep without even dreaming.
The next day, the family did not go skiing again. Instead, they visited Otaru, where Hongen Paradise is located. This small town in the late 19th and early 20th centuries relied on a natural harbor and was once the commercial center of Hokkaido.
Today, the scene of the prosperous period is still preserved. The masonry warehouse buildings along the coast have been transformed into handicraft stores, shops, restaurants, etc., and the lights on the roadside are still gasoline lamps.
Tsuruko and her mother didn't feel tired at all today. They went shopping in the commercial street with full energy and bought a lot of cosmeceuticals, glass crafts, etc.
Of course, I didn't forget to buy some gifts for the three grown men carrying bags and the relatives and friends in Shizuoka. Anyway, I bought an off-season floral shirt for my father, and he looked very happy.
...
Happy times always end unexpectedly,
In the afternoon, the group got on the flight back to Tokyo. In the evening, they rushed all the way to their hometown in Shizuoka.
A simple New Year's ski trip ended when the three men of the Yongshan family walked into the house carrying large and small bags.
Nagayama Naoki did not stay in Tokyo directly, his car is still in his hometown!
