お友達に連れていっていただきました。RLではもう何年も滑ってない：：
My friend took me to skating. I have not done skating for several years in RL.
雪景色の中をお話ししながら滑るのは楽しいのですけど、残念ながらこれは自動なので、自由に動けません：：
It is joy to skate in the beautiful scenery while chatting, but unfortunately the balls are fully automatic and it is not possible to move freely.
ここは、以前紅葉がきれいで写真とりにきたトンネルみたいです。
This tunnel could be the site where I took the beautiful autumn leaves before.
昔の馬場のスケートリンク。アニメーションはダンスボール同様自動ですけど、自由に動き回れます。
リードに合わせて滑るのが楽しかったです。イナバウアーなんて有名になったころだ＾－＾
The old Baba skating rink. The animation is also automatic as a dance ball, but it was possible to move around freely. It was amusing to follow the leader and make pair position. It was the time when the Ina Bauer by Shizuka Arakawa became popular.
スキーもRLもSLも昨年も行かなかった；；
SLにはスキー場が沢山ありました。 レースが出来る場所もあって、馬場で大会したことも。
I have not gone skiing also for three years at both SL and RL. There were many ski resorts in SL. Some of them were for racing and a competition was done at Baba members.
スプレッドイーグルなんて、RLでは一度もやったことない！ こんな高く跳んだことも＾－＾
Neither spread eagle nor such a high jump I have done in RL.
私が好きなのはパウダースノー。最近は「ジャパウ」って言って海外で人気だそうです。
カナダのパウダーと違って少し重みがあるのが却って滑りやすいのかも？
これは私が一番好きなポジション。踏み込んだ板がふわっと浮き上がって切り替わり、ここから回り込んできて次のターンが始まる.
巻きあがった雪煙は沈み込んだ胸のあたりまで来る！
SLにはパウダースノーはないですねー；；
I love a powder snow. Recently the powder snow in Japan became popular among foreign tourists as “Japow”. Comparing with that at Canada, the powder in Japan might be a bit heavier and rather easier to maneuver. This is the timing that I love most. The ski pressed down now comes bouncing back to the surface, and starts rotating toward the next turn initiating a new curve. The snow powder reaches up to my shoulder at the bottom of the corner. Too bad that there is no powder snow in SL…
