Overwhelmed by Rusutsu Input

I've made this rod for my own back. I'm now receiving more spectacular photos from Japan everyday - more than I can cope with in a single report.

So, in this report I include mostly photos from Rosco, taken during his day trip to Rusutsu with friends.

I end today's report with a teaser of what is to come in tomorrow's report; a series of great photos from Peter in Rusutsu.

A bit of news for us old-timers who didn't already know this: Rosco reports that Rusutsu has finally gone over to electronic tickets after years of having to wear silly armbands.

Peter reports: 'still snowing hasn't stopped in over a week putting in 12 hour days out side'

I'm mostly using Rosco's own captions below:-

Rob in deep thought

Heather smokin'

No, but yes!

Geoff under the Gondora

I think I'll turn here & Vintage K2

Vintage K2 cheesey tails

Niseko shed

And now some teasers for tomorrow's report of Peter's yesterday in Rusutsu

Tune in tomorrow to see what back country fun they had and if they ever got there

Tomorrow's report includes back country riding in 3 formats: board, ski and ski-doo

As I write this report I see that the BOM is still forecasting possible snow in Thredbo on Friday in time for the Thredbo Blues Festival :-)

Personally I don't see that forecast surviving until Friday but then stranger things have happened.
