December 2005.  Everyone was looking forward to the season and hoping for a good start with enough snow to open up as early as possible... it's always an anxious time.  Then it started to snow - and it didn't seem to stop until early January.  Record levels of snow fell in many regions of Japan during that early part of the 05/06 season, and the huge amounts of snow helped the season extend well into May in many regions. 

We thought we'd celebrate the record snowfall levels with a gallery of photos showing just how much snow there was - taken by ourselves and a number of Snow Japan readers in December 2005 and January 2006.  Enjoy...
