Traktor Travels

Team Traktor have departed, leaving Rosco to complete his season in Japan.

I'll leave the photos to tell their own story. There will be more from Rosco before his return.

As in many a ski resort, conditions can change quickly

Of course, healthy food is important

Strong winds hindered visibility and then packed the snow to cream cheese consistency

Still some light stuff could be found

Skiing with Traktorman and Rosco meant Karen spent a lot of time in the trees

A snow-bomb - now you see it, now you don't

Launder while you drive? I'll leave you to make your own captions for the skis ;-)

Make sure you don't miss the series of reports from Japan that have already been posted. Go to 'Past Reports' to see what has been happening over the last month.

Today's Grump: I'm still grumping about the banks and I have now put St George at the top of my list of immoral greed mongers. Once an honourable building society that appreciated long term customer loyalty, today a heartless bank of nothing but tossers as far as I'm concerned.
