Let's ❄️✨ create new winter memories together

We are looking for entries for the Winter Triathlon to be Held in in Shinano Town, Nagano Prefecture in March 2025! ⛷️🚴‍♂️🏃‍♀️
Today, I'm going to tell you what to wear for winter triathlon cross-country skiing! There are many people who want to participate in competitions but are wondering what kind of clothes to wear. You may be wondering how it differs from going to a ski resort.
When cross-country skiing, it's best to wear lighter clothes than when skiing at the ski resort! It is a good idea to choose clothing that is easy to move around and easy to put on and take off. When I participated for the first time, I went in ski clothes, but as soon as I moved, I got hot and my clothes got wet with sweat. Therefore, it is essential to wear quick-drying innerwear so that you don't sweat cold! ✨ (The third photo is from when I went in ski clothes (laughs))
Details are also included in the photo, so please refer to it! Please prepare well before the competition and enjoy 🏅💪 it comfortably
Whether you want to give it a try or are still unsure, why not experience the charm of winter triathlon and dive into a new world of sports? 🏅

Snow Fairy
Did you know that there is a snow fairy in Hokkaido?
Its name is "Shimaenaga"
Originally, this wild bird called Enaga resembled a long-handled ladle in appearance.
The chief of the handle (e) → named Enaga
In fact, there are long-tailed moths in Honshu, but this pure white subspecies of long-tailed moth only lives in Hokkaido
That's why Hokkaido is called Shima.
The long-tailed moth, which lives only in Shima→ was named Shimaenaga
It is only called the snow fairy, and you will see it from the time when the leaves fall and the snow begins to fall
For that reason, it is also called a bird that signals snow

[The Northern Alps 🏔 beyond the snow-covered urban area]
From the end of the year to the beginning of the year, it repeatedly snowed and stopped, and ❄️ not only the mountains but also the urban area was covered Town with snow, and ⛄️ in the afternoon, the clouds that hung over the Northern Alps cleared, so I went to Town Park and took a picture. 🏔 😌

When I was shooting at Kawasaki Daishi, there was a person with an atmosphere, so I called out to him.
There were a lot of people there because it was the third day of the day, but miraculously, I was able to take a picture at the moment when the person was able to do it, and I was able to capture the atmosphere that this person had.
What impressed me was that in the conversation, he said, "I'm very happy to be able to get older as I get older."
It made me think that I would like to take this kind of "toshi".
What do I want to be in the winter of the new year, from January?
