A White Christmas for Some

Peter and Andrea have settled in and Mother Nature has begun deliveries in Japan.

The first fall in Rusutsu delivered 1.3m

Freshies on the piste runs

That's cool

The locals celebrate the start of another season

Andrea out in the garden

It will take another metre or two to cover the sasa grass

But who cares when...

There's face shots to be had on board and skis

Oh yes, blue skies too

Meanwhile the forecasts are for rising temps in the land of OZ, not matter where you are. At least this will mean not having to light the Yule Tide Log.

Merry Christmas and safe travels.
