D8 - Last All-mountain Day

When we stepped out onto the snow, light rain started to fall. Nothing like being wet first up in your day. At least it wasn't icy. We rode up to Diamond and down across to Family. Here we went down the black side and across to Tanne No Mori for a few runs. The kids love making their own path through the trees, hitting little jumps.

After a play here we headed to my favourite area Nishitateyama. We did a few runs here then headed in, out of the wet to Aspen for snacks and an early lunch at 11am. Scored myself a custard bread, so I was happy. Hubby had the Kaarage again and Oscar had the pork cutlet curry. Dale had a cheese bread and then a custard bread. We headed out a bit before 12pm.

The rain mostly held off, as we had dried out a bit, we then headed back up Nishitateyama- where they were setting up for a race, to Takamagahara. Here the kids wanted to do the mogul side, after this we went through Tanne to Family. It was at Family that we spent a bit of time until 2pm doing various runs. The snow was soft and provided good grip, it was not too chopped up, nor too slushy.

We were buggered by 2pm and headed back for a run of Diamond, then headed back to the Prince. Here we had a play in the snow park on the snow bikes and toboggans. Onsen time was just after 3pm.

We headed out at 6pm for a quick bite to eat at Ramen corner.Read more
