Things On The Up And Down

Reports from Japan indicate conditions are on the up and temperatures are on the down.

Today's photos are from TraKtorman on Honshu and Rosco on Hokkaido after further falls of 20-30cms.

TraKtorman sent a thermometer reading and I added mine taken at 4:45pm yesterday after a god-awful day in NSW.

Fresh snow but still the sasa grass shows through (TraKtorman)

Freshies on piste (TraKtorman)

Some great times on empty runs with fresh pow (TraKtorman)

Fresh snow means snow clearing has recommenced in Niseko (Rosco)

The inevitable result of fresh snowfalls (Rosco)

From gondie to chairlift - waiting for first ride (Rosco)

Despite the mountains of snow, much of the off piste could do with more (Rosco)

So Rosco kept searching (Rosco)

And found some interesting angles (Rosco)

Tomorrow's report will be from Team Rusutsu where Peter has reported 1m of new snow over the past 2 days - just in time for Lucky Phil ;-)
