I went over to White World Oze Iwakua in Katashina, Gunma prefecture this morning.

The sun was out, blue skies and good snow.

Interesting place. There's a fair few ungroomed courses, lots of moguls but also a decent selection of groomed gliding courses.

Somehow I wasn't in the mood for a long day skiing and taking photos, and not sure if I'll be going back.... decent place but perhaps now I've been I'm on for somewhere else.

Here's a few I took mixture of scenery and shots of the resort











That's Nikko Shirane and Marunuma Kogen resort:

I haven't been to Ishiuchi this year yet. You were there today I presume? Were you 'filming'? wink

(Is the snow in the foreground a trail? Looks untouched.)

No, it's not a trail. It's a bank of snow at the top of the gondola. Walked up a bit to get the shot. Some people looking on as if I'd lost it.

But I liked the cut of it's jib. party
