Ron is very happy. He got socks from his dad and cereal from his wife. Our English conversation students got Ron 8 slices of cake. Of course it is meant for everyone to have a slice, but it was a sweet gesture from the sweetest ladies.
Ron's birthday weekend took us two hours away to the city of Aomori, specifically Hakkoda Mountain. The best place we found for skiing. It has a long ropeway and the mountain is slightly groomed, which makes the snow powdery and a great challenge. It isn't for the faint-hearted and the family weekends. This is where the hardcore snow goers go. We spent two days going up and down this gorgeous mountain. I got multiple faceplants full of snow and Ron lost his skis while skiing and had to hike up knee height powder snow for 45 minutes. We found the skis. We plan on coming here every weekend.
