Yeti Ski Resort near Mt Fuji was the first ski resort to open for the 2012/13 winter season and opened yesterday in a very Japanese way with a cosplay skiing/snowboarding event. Over 300 skiiers/boarders dressed up in outlandish costumes for the opening day. This marks the 14th year in a row that Yeti has been the first resort to open – primarily due to their very sophisticated snow making machinery. Nice weather and newly snow capped Mt Fuji in the background made for a great October day out on the slopes. Looking forward to some more resorts opening up soon!

Kagura Ski Resort in Niigata will end operation of its ski lifts this Sunday 27th of May. They have had an incredibly long season and the staff have really worked hard maintaining the course from the top to the mid-way gondola. Up in the higher region of resort they are still reporting a 190cm base!! These photos were taken yesterday 24th May. 3 days to go!
