Yamada Manor, Musdurn Mountain, Torringgar Mountain Range.
Theo had just settled into the place when they gathered once again.
The whole gang was there for this trip.
Theo, Aurora, Ayia, Shizuka, Kaori, Sam, Sayuri, Ryoko, June, Kumiko, Shoko, Lauren, Max, Gwen, Kin, Vivian, Carolla, and Umaru.
"What are we going to do now?" Kumiko asked as they gathered together in the living room.
"We should climb the mountain to have fun of course!" Ayia exclaid with excitent.
"I agree, but the problem is that I don't have the equipnt necessary for skiing or snowboarding. Do you guys think that there is a place around here that rents this kind of thing?" Sam comnted.
"I don't have any equipnt either."
" too."
|| ||
Because most of them didn't have the tradition of traveling to the mountains, they never practiced winter sports before. So, they didn't have their own equipnt for practicing skiing or snowboarding.
Theo and Aurora were the sa as well. It was their first ti in the mountains, so they were completely new to everything.
"There is indeed a place where you can rent these things, but you don't have to do that as we have all the equipnt that you guys may need here in the mansion." Shizuka replied with a calm voice.
"Yeah, there's plenty of equipnt for everyone." Kaori smiled.
This was one of the things that Maito-san inford them about it. As this house was the destination where the family mbers ca to practice winter sports, it had plenty of equipnt for a lot of people.
Everyone was taken by surprise when they heard that, but they soon beca cheerful that they wouldn't have to rent a bunch of things.
Soon after, Suzuka and Kaori showed them where the equipnt was stored and they had to make an important decision.
Would they be skiing or snowboarding?
'Skiing was easier to learn but harder to master. Whereas snowboarding was harder to learn but easier to master.'
This is a common claim most people will hear in the world of snowsports and, while different people can take to different sports, it's generally true.
That's why when this group of people faced this decision, the ones who had reservations chose to practice skiing. While the more daring ones chose to practice snowboarding.
Theo obviously chose snowboarding as it seed more fun for him, and Aurora went with him and chose the sa as him.
Ayia, Kaori, Suzuka, Vivian, Umaru, and Carolla spent the next 30 minutes explaining to the others how they should wear the appropriate clothes and pieces of equipnt.
The six of them grew up practicing these sports, so their instructions were really helpful to the others.
After they were all set, they were finally ready to climb the mountain. So, they soon placed the bags with the pieces of equipnt in the cars and left the manor soon after.
A while later, they arrived at the relay station at the Mountain foot where they would get into the cableway that would take them to the mountain top.
They decided to first climb to the place where it was easier to practice skiing and snowboarding. The place they were going was the most frequented station in the mountain, so the cableway that climbed the mountain was especially modern and spacious enough to take them on just one trip.
The 19 of them waited for a while before getting into the lift with their equipnt. The lift was covered in reinforced glass walls, so they were able to see the landscape of the mountain around them.
"I know I may sound a little redundant, but everything is so white!" Lauren exclaid as they climbed the mountain.
From up there they were able to see the vast expanse covered in white snow and trees.
It was a stunning view.
"Let's take a picture!" Aurora said with a smile as she pulled her phone out of her winter
jacket.
"Yes!"
"Co on, guys!"
"..."
Just like that, they spent the whole ti climbing the mountain taking pictures. When they finally arrived at the mountaintop station, they grabbed their equipnt bags and exited the lift. As soon as they exited they saw a modern building with all kinds of facilities. The building had coffee shops, restaurants, equipnt rentals, and other kinds of shops.
"I guess I know where we should have lunch today." Sayuri comnted when she saw the place.
"Yeah, Sayuri's right. We should have lunch here." June agreed.
Everyone agreed with them when they heard that as no one wanted to leave the mountain so soon, so having lunch there was a good option.
They soon exited the building and saw the vast expanse of the mountain. There they were able to see troves of people skiing and snowboarding. Because the landscape around this station was easier to practice, lots of newbies chose to start their practice here. That's why they saw a lot of people who seed who have just started learning. They saw instructors guiding these people, but their group didn't choose to pay an instructor as they had their own instructors.
Ayia, Shizuka, and Umaru were extrely proficient in snowboarding. Whereas Kaori, Vivian, and Carolla were extrely skilled in skiing. Ayia, Shizuka, and Kaori were almost professional athletes in these modalities. That's why these girls imdiately started hiring instructors to teach them when the others suggested.
"Yes, you should put your feet parallel..."
"Tight your straps..."
""
In such a way, the sic]x girls spent the next 10 minutes explaining to the others how they should put on the ski and snowboards on their feet.
A few minutes later, they were all dutifully equipped to start skiing or snowboarding.
Each one of them wore winter pants and jackets, gloves, boots, goggles, helts, masks, and other kinds of thermal clothes to keep the cold out.
Even though the weather was freezing there, with all these things they felt that they could
take on this cold head-on.
"Are you guys feeling warm?" Kaori suddenly asked.
"A little."
"I'm a little cold I won't lie."
" too."
"....."
Kaori nodded in understanding before saying out loud, "It is normal to feel cold before you start your practice. As you start moving you feel the warmth from your body keeping the cold
out."
"Plus, you should pay attention to so things before you start, like you will fall down a lot..." Kaori spent the next minutes explaining how their practice would proceed and what
they should do in these situations.
It was only after everyone was made aware of these things that Kaori was satisfied.
Soon after, they separated into two groups.
Ayia, Shizuka, and Umaru guided the ones who chose to learn snowboarding. While Kaori, Vivian, and Carolla guided the ones who chose to learn skiing.
Everyone was extrely excited to start learning as they all had smiles on their faces. If they didn't have masks and goggles on their faces, their enthusiasm would be shown. But their excited voices as they learned from the girls still gave away their excitent.
