Rusutsu

Went to Rusutsu, a ski resort about an hours drive away from Niseko with Matt, Tim and Luke a couple of day ago. This is the drive there:


Here's the boys on the chair lift:


It was the best day of snowboarding I've had since I got to Japan.





Skiing/snowboarding through the trees is strictly prohibited at this resort, which meant that it was super awesome to go through the trees, as not many people had tracked out the snow before you got there. Usually at Niseko, you get a couple of hours of nice snow in the morning if you're at the lift and lining up at 8:30am when lifts open. At Rusutsu it was awesome fresh snow all day. By about 2pm the weather started getting a bit shit, and we were all pretty exhausted, so we called it a day. Good bloody day though. There was an old rollercoaster/theme park buried in the snow too. Looked so cool. Awesome times.




Luke's backpack got caught on the chairlift. It was relatively funny.
