Hirafu Niseko.
Tonight I went down the road to the Rail Jam, which was skiing and snowboarding on a rail. Park tricks.

Some Megalaima.
These are some Barbets that I found a couple of years ago on my trip to South-east Asia. Megalaima is a genus of Asian barbets (family Megalaimidae). The name means ‘large throat’, from the Greek mega (‘large, great’) and laimos (‘throat’). There are 24 species in this genus

Hirafu.
Yesterday the sun came out again. No new snow.
Looking towards Kutchan from up the top of Hirafu.
A Sunny Day.
Today it was a sunny day for a change. No new snow but at least the sun was out for a while. The wind was a bit chilly up the top of the mountain but down below it was ok. I took a few photos on my point and shoot. This was last night.
We took the hooded chair up to the top, then Ace number 4 and traversed across to Annupuri.
Looking towards Niseko Village
We did a few runs down below the quad chair. Then up the Annupuri Gondola to the top of the hill.
Then traverse back to Hirafu.
