Yours Truly bottom right










Arigato!

Nice mate, I like the longer exposure shots of the bus and the runs lit up at night. Gotta love the beer and liquor vending machine!!!

cool stuff
great to see you jetsetting to snowboard heaven

Looks like your having a great time! Like Raskill I like the night shots, the bus especially!
The shot of the two of your with the great vista behind, it took a moment to register the rest of the mount is hidden by cloud, for a second I thought you had a strange flat top mesa in snow country.

yeh the vending machiens are awesome ... can get hot soup, coffe, cocoa and any number of other weird and wonderful thigns (sometimes you just have to take a punt on what it is ... the pic of the bus was taken by a mate, of moi.

Today was quite odd with thick cloud down low but great visibility up top (and shin deep powder)

Nice photos, Darb. Interesting stuff. Enjoy your stay there.

Keep a look out for two of my Aussie mates (Kieran and Rob - 30-ish) who are over there enjoying the snow as we speak.

Looks like a wicked place for snow (and beers).

Hi Darb,

thanks a lot for sharing.
We can sit here and melt (unless we have airconditioning) and
look at the cold hemisphere.

Cheers,

They are great shots darb. The huge mountain and clouds are the best!

volcano infact! ... means the thermal hot springs here are the real deal.

Was pretty cool sitting in a thermal nutrient rich rockpool with bubbling hot water, outdoors in the middle of the snow. Couldnt stand much longer than about 20 minutes though, and that was with a beer.
