Memories that connect the past, the present, and the future

The day before yesterday was the first reopening in 20 years with an important customer at the time who was working at ARAI (a ski resort that is currently closed).
At that time, I was 25 years old, and my customers have been doing the same for years.

In order to remember 20 years ago, we need some keyword, and when we find that keyword,
In an instant, you can make a time trip to the memory of 20 years ago.Then, fill that time (toki) and talk about that time.
In order to share, anything is fine, so I think it's better to do something together.
For example, you can start a BBQ fire, cut squid, or collaborate with Bachin.
I strongly felt that the time axis was connected from the past to the present at once.

Now, let's say that the important customer at the beginning, but that customer was a child at that time.
Then what about? I think some people think, "You may not remember what happened 20 years ago."

That's true, can you remember your memory when you were in elementary school?
Even if I look back on myself, I doubt that I can even remember it.
Personally, I remember seeing the sea for the first time when I was in the third grade of elementary school.
Take the Shin-Etsu Main Line from Nakakaruizawa, my parents' house, to the coast of Naoetsu, Niigata Prefecture, with my cousin's uncle's children and a total of three people.
I had you bring me.Looking out while riding the train, at the beach with Bashan Bashan
The scene of the waves that make noise and collapse is still revived in my mind.
However, other scenes are not reflected in my mind as memories unless I look at the pictures.

I'm sure that the things that remain in my memory are happy things, painful things, fun things, and sad things.
I think it's time to connect with something.
I think it is people and places that are the key to remembering that.
The day before yesterday's BBQ was exactly the senior members who worked at ARAI at that time and my important customers.
And since the place is Yukimori (former Arai City, now Myoko City), 20 years have been filled up and it was recently.
It seemed like a thing of the past.

Here, I was able to thank my two important customers again while being surrounded by ARAI's seniors.
I wanted to thank you for the "Moonshine Ski Tour" that I planned and participated in in 94.
Thank you for participating.
(At night, with a cat (a transport vehicle on snow with a Mercedes engine called TR)
Climb the forest road course of ARAI for 3km, where HOT WINE and children drink HOT CHOKO,
The tour of sliding down the moonlight as it is, should have been the first winter resort in Japan at that time? )

Because I was a 25-year-old regular employee at that time, and I was forced to accept this by the company, so I was forced to approve it.
What I really wanted for the explanation was the feedback of the participants.

Meanwhile, I vividly remember the feedback from these two customers.

And the feedback is very simple.

"Smiles and laughter of two girls"
The tour was over and the time and air around the cat was changing.

The bosses I was watching nearby smiled and it was the best reward for me.

These two are sisters and are now 2 and 29 years old (26 years old and 9 years old at the time), each growing up to be a very nice woman.

They remain vivid in my memory,"Courage to move forward before being born from smiles and laughter"Gave me.

And after 20 years, maybe it's the one who takes my beloved daughter on a moonshine tour here.
Maybe my sister ...
When I think about that, I feel happy.

BBQ with the customer's family with ARAI's seniors who connected this connection.
At first glance, it may be an old clock, or it may be rusty and immobile.

However, the gears of the crested ibis slowly started to move, just as the movement was transmitted from the small gear to the large gear at the meeting and place of people.
From there, it was a moment when I was convinced that I could mark the present time as a clock that does not make me feel 20 years.

PS
But what the two customers in the party remembered most was
I played with a private round trampoline imported from Canada for snowboard training
It seems that it was a memory. (Bitter smile)

While working as a ski teacher at a luxury resort in Vail, Colorado, he got hooked on snowboarding and returned home.Zhang himself who brought board culture to a Japanese resort for the first time.He is also the representative of Studio Japan Co., Ltd., which operates Japan's largest snowboard information site "SBN", "Snow Bancho", "OUTLAND", "UNTRACKED", etc.
