Mmm Slush!

We got some fresh snow and rain yesterday so we had fresh slush to ski on! It was fun for a while, then just got ridiculous.
Today, not much has improved. Our ski pass is such that at the start of each day we take this piece of paper to the ticket office and they give us a pass for the day. This works out particularly well cause today we got our passes and then sold them to some other people for more than we paid, but for less than they would have to pay to buy a day pass. Works well, its a good deal for everyone, and we get back about 4000¥. We'll use the money to go and visit an onsen, check out the local town and go to the pub tonight for a good feed.

The one good thing about the package deal we have, is that we got one included dinner. It was at a mexican restaurant last night and was delicious! Was great to have some 'western' food. Getting slightly sick of all the salty noodle/soup combinations. Was craving some fresh veggies etc. Apart from that, the company looking after us are still pretty shit. Just found out last night that they are primarily a surf tour company in Australia, so really have no idea whats going on over here.

Looking forward to getting back to Tokyo. This place has been a sour note on an otherwise fantastic trip!
