Boxing Day in Niseko

so a bit of a catch up  - last night was Christmas night and we met Cam at NAC and met some of his colleagues -who seemed very pleased to meet us! We then came up to the apartment and did chrissy presents
this was taken right next to NAC looking up the mountain - very pretty. The next one with a bit of movement looks pretty Christmassy to me


For those who know Niseko we went to Bang Bang for dinner - whee we had lots of japanese things - and we didn't try the Christmas chicken.

It was quite lovely and again we ran into a colleague of Cam's who was quick to tell us how well Cam was going. Cam had a little HK boy for a few days and he gave him some of those animal cards (yes the free Woollies ones). Well the little fellow was so pleased he told Cam that he was going to bring Cam a present and wanted to know whether Cam wanted a big, medium or small present! they are a large extended family from what Cam can work out and they have booked 10 NAC instructors for the week - and Cam has this little fellow each day.
Today didn't start sunny - but got that way. We did as our first rn that one where you get off the gondola and hike up the hill and then ski through powder til you drop into holiday. Pretty cool (well actually very sweaty way to start the morning hiking up a hill carrying skis)

View from the top of the hike and then below just as you drop onto holiday - you can see the snow ...scrumptious



And this one is for Michael - and to warm Tom up - Strawberry Fields was open so we went right on in. And it was us and newly laid tracks. Luke and Paddy went down a steep face and I decided just to cruise on through ...or so I thought until I stacked it.I actually had to dig my ski out of the snow so I could stand up


looking down and thinking - o oh - how do I get out of here - but straight down is the answer always 

What an afternoon ...


Last run of the day and safely home. 
cam is bringing Ludo (aka ludicrous - but really Ludovic) and Alex (Australian i think) - both his room mates -  for dinner tonight. I have bought some beers and we are are going to a little BBQ place around the corner ( Rob and Lucy - remember the one where we sat at a 1 person table? yep that is the one!)
