At last, my first ski of the season!
Gala Yuzawa was the destination.
The snow was amazing, the weather was amazing - deep blue skies above Gala - a brilliant start.

The new stuff at Gala Yuzawa - the new downhill course and the re-opening of the South Area - covered here:

Here's some photos taken while I was there.

Beautiful pics, love them them all.
I am going skiing again tomorrow if I take anything worth while I will put them up, plus some from the other day too.

Snow glorious snow! I have snow time to waste I'm off to play in the snow!

Thank you. Yes, it was worth a wait though still can't believe it is mid-January before my first time out. I hope I can make up for it from now on.

great photos

BTW does your run-of-the-mill lift ticket at GALA allow you to ride Ishiuchi and Yuzawa Kogen as well, or do you have to buy a special 3 resort ticket?

Muika, do you have a website that shows/sells your photos? If not, I'd def get one up and see if you can make a bit of dough from em, cos they are often fantastic
