昨晩は峰の原のペンションを拠点に
T.M.N. Ski Skole という
テレマークスキー・スクール
を主催する望月さんと、コラボでの
ワイン会の機会を持った。
参加者18名。全て楠ヴィニヤーズの
栽培葡萄からなるワイン会で、
そこそこワインも評判よく
一安心。収穫会にお手伝い頂いた方も
何人かいて、自分で採った葡萄の
ワインを飲んで頂く機会となりました。

今日は朝からその参加者の皆さん
（テレマークスキーヤー）の
峰の原からの根子岳ツアーに
参加させてもらった。

スキー板の裏側にシールという
滑り止めを張ると、坂の雪面でも
歩くような感じで上って行ける。
根子岳にある避難小屋から30分ほど
上ったあたりから尾根や沢筋をすべり
降りる。途中林を2-3トラバースして
菅平牧場に降りてくる。

晴天。雪は少なめだが、ノートラック
の雪面を滑り降りるのは心地良い。
5キロほどは滑走しただろうか。
途中の登り坂ではかなりへたった。
太ももや膝周辺の筋肉がきしみ、
呼吸が荒くなる。でも気持ちいい。

今度機会があったら、こんな良い天気の
日に根子岳山頂まで上って見たいと思う。

I had a wine session last night
in collaboration with Club T.M.N.
which is a part of activities of
T.M.N. Ski Skole run by Mr. Takashi
Mochiduki, a tetelmark ski coach
based in Minenohara Kogen Heights.
Eighteen people joined the wine session
where only wines of Kusunoki Vineyards
were presented. Some of the participants
helped me in harvesting last autumn.
I was happy they were able to enjoy
the wines made of grapes they had picked.
The wines were well accpeted whcih relieved
me a lot.

Today, I joined them who are all telemark
skiiers to a mini tour to Nekodake Mountain
from Minenohara.

I borrowed the ski gear from Mr. Mochiduki.
Anti sliding fabric called 'seal' were attached
to the sole of the ski. You can slide up the hill
with the seal quite easily. We walked up on the ski
upto around 30 minutes from the depo hut and slided
down the slope along the slope and the gulley by
travelling through the woods horizontally or uphill
from time to time. Then we finally slided down to
the entrance of the Sugadaira ranch.

It was clear and gorgeous weather. Snow was not
abundant but enough for such a tour. We may have
slided down for about 5 km on the almost no truck
slopes. It was very tiring to slide up the hill.
My breath became rough and muscle on the legs
ached very much. However, it was nice and refreshing
to make such tour in the snow.

Next time, I wish to go up to the summit of
Nekodake Mountain in a beautiful sunny weather.
