A great late summer's day on the peak of Mt Annupuri. Well worth the hike if you get the chance.The view towards the Sea of Japan and the view up the north west coast comes out well in this panorama.

Hirafu looking good - blue skies , fresh snow and fresh tracks ! To the south you can see the crack lines appearing on the south faces. Fun fun.

The hirafu gondola is always a good option - covered comfort. Usually the first lift to close when windy. Hirafu spring perfection !

One of the steepest sections in Hirafu - Nikabe strikes fear into any beginner but early in the morning freashly groomed or covered in powder this little pitch is a LOT of fun.
