As last weeks warmer weather showed us spring is on the way, but as you can see from Simon’s photo’s the winter still has some bite left. The snow arrived just in time for the weekend and word on the street was that Rusutsu had some great snow.Unfortunately being the weekend and due to a rumored lift outage it had to be shared among quite a few, not bad for the middle of March though.

Speaking of weekends another one of Japans frequent public holidays is looming, this one celebrating the spring equinox, great news for the working folk!! And what better way to celebrate a holiday than with a party. The good people from S.P.I.N. and A.Life Sapporo are putting on an international party so after the day on the couch or the hill come out for a nite on the town.
See ya there!
