Slippery slope

5 Comments

Children and parents get ready to slide down a 100-meter slope on Sunday at the 47th Iwate Snow Festival, one of many attractions in addition to the 11 snow and ice sculptures on display. Lunch and dinner are available in igloos known as "kamakura." The festival, which is being held at the Koiwai Farm in Shizukuishi Town, runs until Feb 11.

Iowa: NOT 100 meters--but pretty close. Took my boys: 7 and 4. Steep slope. They fought on top, laughed at bottom. What a good day!

Looks like a lot of fun, but so many people going down a 100-meter hill at the same time will likely result in some injuries. So, have fun, but take care!!

While I don't care for winter anymore and prefer a warmer climate. I do miss the fun you can have in the snow.
