親父の背中(10)

旧制弘前高校スキー部だった親父は毎年冬春家族をスキーに連れて行った。スキー場では放任で、ある時は谷に落ちて動けなくなり助けられたのは夕刻だった。しかし子供はみるみる上手くなるもので、6年生で一級に受かったのには皆驚いた。

My father, who was a former member of  Hirosaki High School ski club, took his family to ski every winter and spring. I usually was left alone at the ski resort, and at one point I fell into a valley and got stuck and was saved in the evening. However, the children got better quickly and we were surprised that I passed the first grade of ski licensing examination when I was in the sixth grade.of elementary school.
