End of a Season

Peter has sent some end-of-season photos through to me.and says that Rusutsu is closing on the weekend for another snow season.

Peter reports temperatures have been up to 10C and that the snow is very soft and they are leaving deep trenches, but as their photos will show, the groomers look great and Peter and Andrea have their own huge private resort.

Another long queue

Yes, anyone who has spent time riding in Rusustu will recognise this now thin spot

Big wide groomers and more of those long lift queues ;-)

Beware those big Japanese ski crowds

Time for lunch. I've never seen it like this at lunch time

Possibilities of collisions with other riders is low ;-)

Yep - got that

Peter now has time to prepare next winter's wood supply

Meanwhile back in Thredbo the cheese rolling course has been marked out.
It starts around 11am tomorrow - register 10:30, helmet compulsory, health insurance advised
