Very mild temps here in Furano. snow was a little crunchy this morning but we got a light dusting around lunchtime which gave a little covering.

Awesome I don't think I have ever seen it completely covered. Sugooi.

Only 3 more sleeps and we will be on the slopes of Furano!!

Yep have hit the pain killers - I have adhesive capulitise of the shoulder. It was coming right, threw my arm out to grab one of my NAUGHTY horses and totally have gone back to immobility of the arm. Feeling a little better today will be able to raise my drink with my left arm .

Also please remember if you do lose your luggage or have an accident MAKE SURE you get a full report signed by the consulting doctor. to come back with injuries and Xrays is not enough.

Awesome - Loved the photo's they were great You have earned a beer or two!!

On the Gold Coast in 31o packing snow gear. Only 5 more sleeps

We just picked our tickets up and the travel agent was blabbing on about how nice it was going to be going business class and I was Okay enough already my travel insurance does it cover snowboarding and skiing accidents, are we covered if someone else hits us.

A some good news in all this bad news my friends niece and family have all been found safe. All 10 horses tragically perished. Just went to the supermarket to pick up some items for dinner NOTHING!!!!! Shelves are empty NO BREAD - NO MILK - NO Fresh Produce. It was a little scary. Was also told that 2 McDonald stores will close their doors tomorrow as they have run out of food and can't get any delivered as the bigger stores are being looked after first. If roads aren't opened tomorrow our 2 local petrol stations will also run out of fuel.

You'll be able to see them being made
