OGASAWARA / SALARYMAN AND DAUGHTER
I play winter sports about once per month. I don' know any fancy moves. I like it indoors
because it's not as cold as it is outside.
AKIKO YAMASHIRA / STUDENT
During the winter, I like to participate in winter sports about once per week. My most
spectacular move? A single axel! Indoor ice skating is best because the ice is clean and
pretty. Outside, the ice melts more, and you get all wet!
REIKO KATAOKA / NURSE
I like to participate in winter sports from the beginning of the season, right through to
the end. I don't have any special moves. I like the indoor version because it's clean.
Break the ice Photos By Beezer
It's chilly outside, so many people are heading indoors - to ski and ice skate, that is.
This week, our roving reporter headed to an ice rink and ski center, where he met some
people. He wanted to get to know those Tokyo residents a little better, so to break the
ice he asked them: How often do participate in winter sports? What's your most impressive
move on the snow or ice? And do you prefer the indoor version to the real thing?
MAYA ENDO / PART-TIMER
I only get into winter sports when it's really cold outside. I can make lots of cool
snowboard moves. I enjoy the indoor version because I don't have to worry about the
weather getting too bad, and my friends and I can enjoy it all year round.
MASAHIRO NANIWA / STUDENT
I only participate in winter sports during the winter. I don't have any particularly
impressive moves on the snow or ice. I prefer the outdoor version because it's vast and I
feel more relaxed.
