投稿の詳細: ある冬の週末　A winter weekend.

知り合いの家族連れが
2組ほどくるので
そば打ちをやらないかと
誘われ、昨日雨の中を峰の原に
上る。途中やや重い雪に
変わり、夜半から吹雪に。

暖かい部屋の中では、
そば打ちに続いて
美味しい食事とワイン、おしゃべり
に興じる。

今朝は新雪が30センチほど
積もったのか、風が強いせいで
吹き溜まりとそうでない余り積もって
いないところがある。
雪のなか、リスが餌を求めて
窓の外を行ったり来たり。

お昼近く、習いたてのテレマークを
練習しにゲレンデへ。
大分感じがつかめてきたなと
急斜面にでるととたんに
行き先がおぼつかなくなる。

午後心地よい疲労感と共に山を降りると
須坂の町に積雪はなく、ちらほらと
雪が舞っている程度であった。

I was invited to make soba noodle for
the frineds family who were to come
to spend weekend at Minenohara. Then
I drove up to Hinenohara Kogen heights
yester day when it was raining in Suzaka.
It turned to be wet snow on the way
and became heavey snow falls at night.

In the warm dining room, we enjoyed
soba noodle making followed by
wonderful dinner, good wines and
conversations.

This morinig, we found the new snow fall
around 30cm depth but deeper at snow drifted
area and almost nothing where the wind was
strong. A squirrel came up and down beyond
the window for flower seeds.

At around noon time, I went out to
try telemark ski. After a few down hill
along the beginner's course, I felt
I could make it very good. But as soon
as I tried it at steep slope, I found
myself a mere beginner and found no
way to control my direction.

In the afternoon, I came down with
comforatble fatigue to Suzaka
where I found no snow falls but
just a little snow flakes in the wind.
