A and I took our ski outfits out of the garden shed for the first time in two years. We cleaned them up two years ago and put them in the shed just after coming back to Japan from Canada.
Two years have passed since then. A has got bigger, and she is fifteen years old now. (She'll turn sixteen in Whistler.) The skis that A used last time aren't suitable for her weight now. I decided to make her use her sister, Eri's skis.
We went skiing today for A to try the new skis. Eri's skis were a better fit than A expected. We asked a repair shop to tune up them. Our skis will come back in the middle of March. We'll pack them as they are.
The picture shows the nearest piste from my hometown. As you can see, this is a very small ski area. You'll easily understand why we are enchanted with Whistler & Blackcomb ski resort.
