At
Hakuba…
Hiroko:
Why go back country skiing instead of staying on the ski slopes?
Kenta:
It’s like the difference between seeing lions in the wild and lions in the zoo.
Hiroko:
But you have to walk up. Carrying skis. On the ski fields the lift takes you to
the top.
Kenta: Aah,
but the snow is different. Powder snow. Even champagne snow.
Hiroko:
And the danger. What if you fall in a drift and suffocate? Like several
recently?
Kenta:
Don’t ski alone. Ski in a group. And ski down one at a time. If someone falls,
you can dig them out.

Team sports follow rules.
Individual sports can be
rule-governed or freestyle.
More parallels for back
country skiing and ski slope skiing:
Snorkeling in a pool vs. snorkeling
in the sea.
Lake sailing vs. ocean
sailing.
A day cycle ride vs. a round
the world cycle trek.
