We're basically stuck in the lodge today. Most of the lifts are closed on wind holds, and even if they were open its disgusting out there. We went up for a few runs this morning, but just gave up. Hopefully night skiing tonight will be a bit better. At least the snow tomorrow is going to be awesome. Last night 30cm fell overnight, and with today's snow and hopefully another dump tonight - tomorrow will be epic!
HB arrived the other day. Its good to finally have a ski buddy. Now with 2 people its safe enough to explore more areas. We also took the bus into Kutchan last night to go to the supermarket. For a couple of Aussie blokes who don't speak a word of Japanese it was quite an experience. Trying to decipher what it actually was we were looking at was an impossible task.
Talk about a visual market though. Everything is wrapped up in plastic or some form of wrapping with pictures and fancy labels, even vegies and fruit. What a waste of resources. Beer was still easy to find!! Thats the most important bit anyways.
So its a bit of a quiet day today. Everyone who is staying in the lodge is pretty much here. The Fins have started drinking already, and a group of young blokes from Sydney have just gone for a beer run. HB is asleep downstairs thanks to a pretty big night last night and I'm just chillin here watching the tv and writing a few emails. It might turn into a pretty fun afternoon!
I hope everyone back home is avoiding the heat, and the fires, and everyone is safe.
