High On A Hill Is A Lonely ...

TraKtorman reports a day of continual snowfalls on Honshu. Rosco said the day started with blue sky in Niseko but snowed/sago-ed heavily in the afternoon and Peter in Rusutsu reports 30cm in 2 hours.

Now for a bit of a catch-up on photos from Rusutsu...

Fresh snow and blue sky over Rusutsu (Peter)

Christof volunteers to go first

Then after more snow, Christof finds the off piste is a real treat

Rusutsu Resort in the background, but who cares when on a slope like this

Lucky Phil says: I'll have some of that

Good steeps with good snow

Peter's toys come out after skiing and boarding the day away

But the deep snow is taking it's toll

Stopping means sinking ;-)

More in a day or two - if I survive the heat. The forecast for NW Sydney on Tuesday and Wednesday is 42C on both days.
