Skiing at APPI Ski resort

We went with an outdoor rec trip to Appi ski resort. It is one of the best Japanese ski resorts near here with many runs and lifts. It also has an onsen and some hotels for the tourists to stay the night. Brock likes the enclosed Gondola (pronounced Gone-dolla). Note this is a happy face right before Mike took him up to the 5K run at the top of the mountain. It took an hour and 15 minutes to go 3 miles down on skis with many wipe outs and only 15 minutes to go up on the lift.
Grace V is a declared beach bikini girl and will not even try the skis. She played in the snow and the cafeteria while Brock skied with a parent.
Mike and Brock on an open lift. It was very snowy and cold so the scarf helped block the ice cold wind.
