三度蓮華温泉雪を断念して1人白馬乗鞍に往復した2018年
Giving up Renge Onsen, another lonely day trip to Hakuba Norikura, 22018

4月29日
29 April

今年もみんなの都合が合わず。案内人1人で白馬乗鞍まで偵察に。1回目は栂池ゴンドラ前駐車場で身支度が整ったところでシールを忘れたことに気づく。1週間後に出直し。白馬乗鞍から2,225m付近まで滑り降りたところで右ふくらはぎの肉離れ。ビンディングの解放調整が強過ぎた。以降、左足1本で斜滑降して降りる。スキーを脱いで、左足1本で歩くことが、左足1本で滑ることに比べていかに難しいかを知る。
The guide made an expoloratory survey to Mt. Hakuba Norikura as the other members were not available again. The first trial was unsuccessful because he forgot skins, which he learned in the parking in front of the lifts of Tsuga-ike. He had to make a second trial surely with skins in a week.
However, skiing from the summit at the altitude of 2,250 meters, some muscles in his right cald were torn. It seems that the sefety mechanism of his skis was too tight. He was forced to ski down only with his left leg for the rest of the slopes. When he arrived at the bottom, he larned how easy it is to ski with one leg than to walk with one leg.
