Fujiten Snow Resort

Our final tour for 2010 was to Fujiten Snow Resort which is located at the base of Mt. Fuji.  We enjoyed some beautiful scenery on the bus ride out there...

Mt. Fuji
Tony, Ally and I rented skis for the day and Nick and Michael did snow boarding.  This was Nick's second time and Michael's first time snow boarding.  I was a little nervous when we went up on the lift and I saw just how steep it was and was not sure how we were going to make it down.  It was nothing like our trip last winter to West Virginia. 

Michael on the edge!
 

Nick on the ground!

Ally trying to go uphill!

It was a nice sunny day but super cold coming down the hill.  The worst part of the day was trying to walk in our ski boots to get lunch - that is so painful!!!

The family with Mt. Fuji behind us!
After the day of playing in the snow we went to The Gotemba Kogen Brewery Restaurant.  It was an all you can eat buffet - including the beer!  Only catch was you only have 80 minutes so you can't stay there all night eating and drinking!  The buffet was grand and I think Ally ate 4 ice cream bars for dessert.  Nick and Tony enjoyed the sushi and Michael and I enjoyed the steak.  After the buffet we took a walk under the holiday festival lights outside - it was pretty amazing!
