Vicki skiing fresh tracks
Paul skiing fresh tracks
Big day today. On first lifts at 8.30 am and arrived home at 4.30 pm. Lots of fresh snow to play in with Vicki and Paul. Had some great first tracks runs this morning under good visibility. The snow fell all day with patches of blue sky unveiling some fantastic views. Hamish arrived on the mountain about 10 am after a big night out with his boys.
We skied to Annupuri. Paul, Hamish and I went into the bowl through a high gate. The snow was light and deep with some challenging trees. Our legs had turned to jelly by the time we came out at the lower end of a long gully. The girls found some really good groomed runs and met us at the bottom for lunch.
We stuffed ourselves in a 2 hour marathon lunch at the big buffet. Hamish couldn’t take the pace and fell asleep at the table – quite embarassing really.
More great skiing this afternoon as the snow continued to fall. Hamish had an altercation with a tree branch below some deep powder and needed a little help to escape his predicament.
As we were skiing home, we were treated to a magic sunset with Yotei clearly visible. What a great way to end the day.

Hi Greg,
I dropped you a line a few days ago about 09/10 but didnt get a reply. Could you drop me a line if you get the chance?
Thanks,
Simon
Love those photos. I can see you take a lot of pride in your work – out of curiosity what kind of rig are you using? Hope to see you up in Furano some day. – Tim
