Don't We Wish?

Peter has sent some snaps taken on Sunday of the last day of skiing and boarding in Rusutsu for the season. Wouldn't it be brilliant if the snow pack was this good at the end of the season in Thredbo and oh those crowds and queues ;-) Sure, off-piste would not be good but those groomers - wow.

And a last minute update (last 3 photos) from Peter shows what he found upon going for a walk yesterday. In a typical Thredbo scenario, Peter said it snowed as soon as the resort was closed.

So many untouched groomers, so much room for big Super G turns

The only lift queue to be found

No rush to find a seat in the Steamboat food hall for lunch

It looks like a ghost town

Hang on - there's some crowds over there

But then it was back to the private ski resort for the rest of the day

Last minute additions: If you walk out in the woods today, you're sure to get a surprise

What looks like comets crashing to earth
What Peter found whilst talking a stroll after a fresh snowfall

These are no small chunks of ice crashing from the mountain tops
and leaving craters over half a metre deep

Meanwhile back in Oz, the temperatures are still unseasonably warm in Sydney but just nice in Thredbo.
