thursday 1 Posted January 8, 2010 Author Share Posted January 8, 2010 at first he cried alot when we got him into the suit. But after hitting the snow, it all turned to curiosity and then all smiles. Got another snow lover. Link to post Share on other sites

klingon 10 Posted January 8, 2010 Share Posted January 8, 2010 Did he have a go on some skis? Link to post Share on other sites
thursday 1 Posted January 9, 2010 Author Share Posted January 9, 2010 haha. Booked lesson. Arrived, put on boots and then it started. He'd have nothing of those boots, so he resisted even upto the point I carried him to the slope. Then we decided it was probably too much to expect, and cancelled it. Shame, he had a HOT instructor. She was very cute. Then tried some miffy skis later in the afternoon. He still didn't like it though. Link to post Share on other sites

thursday 1 Posted January 9, 2010 Author Share Posted January 9, 2010 exact thoughts from those people who stared at us Link to post Share on other sites
foreversnow 5 Posted January 9, 2010 Share Posted January 9, 2010 Your never to young for anything. I judged at a show a while ago and there was a rider in my tiny tot class with nappies on under her jodhpurs and in between classes she would suck on her bottle, she was only 2 1/2 yrs - Her parents couldn't get her off the horse!! Very Cute. Make sure you show all your fantastic photo's to all those fuddy duddies who thought it was abuse taking him to the snow!!! Link to post Share on other sites
Jynxx 4 Posted January 9, 2010 Share Posted January 9, 2010 I got really frustrated when I first skied at 3. Reason - I watched TV before hand where people were skiing superbly. I expected I can do that myself first go. Link to post Share on other sites
Noie 0 Posted January 13, 2010 Share Posted January 13, 2010 Hi Thursday, I wrote the review before you , i went to Tomamu early Dec, None of the Ice village was completed, and the runs near the Towers were not open at this time, i think you went at a great time, being the only person in the whole pool area was interesting. I managed to get seats on the train both ways , it was so fast and simple i hope to head back in Feb. Can you tell me was everything open when you went late dec? and how was the food in the tower area ( i was staying over near the pool) Link to post Share on other sites
thursday 1 Posted January 14, 2010 Author Share Posted January 14, 2010 Noie, EVRRYTHING was open. And some places couldn't get a booking to eat (that fancy Japanese restaurant). The places I did eat, were very friendly and humble, but alas should not be compared to Sapporo or Tokyo. Sports Villa is a bit limited. The Tower is more centre of everything. You have the Forest Mall with all those different restaurants ranging from French, to Yakiniku, to Furano vennison curry. Connected to the Tower by the covered skybridge through the forest, definitely try Nininupuri for breakfast and crab and beer buffet dinner. This is what it looks like for breakfast (buffet behind me) Link to post Share on other sites
Noie 0 Posted January 14, 2010 Share Posted January 14, 2010 awesome, I never really explored, Same place for Breakfast and Dinner, with Lunch below the Gondola everyday, ill make sure i get out and about next time. I guess if the night skiing was open i would have had dinner in the tower. p.s Thanks for the prompt reply Link to post Share on other sites
