Doing as the Moriokans do

Well, being in the negative teens here in Morioka, walking 30 minutes to school... to and from... in the snow...ankle deep... where was my thought? Oh yeah, so being chilly and shaking, Ron and I decided to take up skiing to get us through the wintery months. We've been at it for a month now and are really starting to get the hang of it. We frequent a local ski resort that has hills that make us feel like Olymic champions. However, in the car ride shown, that is a true and very real Iwate Blizzard. We were on our way to a new ski resort, but God decided to have a snow party where we got to play the game of "I can't see." Luckily, we won. I would hate to see us lose. I would have put a video of us skiing down that mountain, but all you would experience is white, white, white, with the sound of a small Asian girl screaming and falling down the hill. I did survive.
