This season definitely not as good as last season. imho.

It is my last day in Osaka before I fly out to Sydney tonight. I thought I should take some photos, so I went for a walk up Shinsekai, Kuromon Markets, then around to Namba and back down Den-Den town to Shin-Imamiya. View from my hotel window this morning. It is pretty cheap in the Shin-Imamiya area. My hotel cost me 1600Yen per night. It is basic but quite sufficient for my needs. At Shinsekai there are lots of izakaya and around lunch time the lineups get a bit long. Kuromon Markets. Some crabs in a box. Ready to be sold and eaten. Film crew shooting a chef cooking

I went to Annupuri this morning. We had a light fall of snow overnight, maybe ten centimeters or so. After a couple of runs at Hirafu, I headed over to Annupuri and went down gate 1. There was a nice cover but patches of icy stuff underneath. Later on, I just went over that ridge below gate 8. Annupuri piste Looking towards Niseko Village snowboardo

Hirafu at 7am I got my beacon and had it checked and we headed to the chairlift at about 7:40. The visibility was appalling and the wind was gusting really strongly. Hanazono #1 Chair We did a few runs down Strawberry Fields. It was great - about knee deep snow and not too heavy.
