About 50 Japanese schoolchildren and teachers were said to be at a ski resort near Tokyo when an avalanche struck, injuring many and several feared dead.

Six people were found at the resort 'showing no vital signs', and three are missing, reports Japan's Kyodo news agency.

Two students and one teacher were also injured, according to fire officials, who received the emergency call around 9.20am UTC.

The avalanche hit the Nasu Onsen Family Ski Resort in Tochigi prefecture north of Tokyo Monday morning.

Students from various high schools were participating in a climbing event there that began Saturday and was supposed to conclude around noon Monday, a person connected with one of the participating schools told The Mainichi.

I don't ski ... i drink pretty good ... but I'm scared of falling down ... and then falling DOWN.
So ... twice.
 
My ex was stationed in Germany back in the day and that's pretty much what he said. Oh, he went down the mountain all right! And then had to go back up to get those damned skis! :hilarious:
 
My husband was stationed in Germany, too. He was not a skiier either, said the only time he tried, he thought he skiied across 2 countries before he got the damn things stopped! LOL
 
The one and only time I went skiing, my friend and I took the lift to the top of the bunny slope, and then pretty much combo fell/slid down the hill on our butts/crawled all the way down. The ski patrol even came and asked us if we needed help, which we declined. We were laughing so hard but determined to get to the bottom on our own. :hilarious:

OMG! Can you imagine having to live down getting rescued from the bunny slope! :hilarious:

When you put it like that it makes it sound even worse! :hilarious::hilarious::hilarious:Dying! I can't remember exactly how long it took us to get down the mountain, but it was a long ass time, we were exhausted.

We were pretending like we were lost in the Andes mountains, reaching out to each other when one of use had crawled down the mountain a little ways (I'm going to call it a mountain, not a hill :p), pretending like we were writing our last words to our loved ones before our inevitable deaths, when rescuers would eventually find our frozen corpses. I'm confident we looked like huge imbeciles to everyone zipping past us.

I went skiing one time when I was 14. I went down the bunny slope, hit a tree, my ski popped off and I decided fuck this, and went to the ski lodge for the rest of the day.

Perfect day! I like snow snowmobiling though, and I can skate ! So it not like I'm a total wash out for winter sports.
