25. The business end

We have arrived at Niseko Hirafu, time to get into the real work of skiing. It is a good sign when you arrive and there is plenty of snow on the roofs and even more snow coming down. Thankfully our hotel car park is heated so it is an easy walk in and out to the main street, after that it gets a bit dicey. The hotel is quite nice and has it's own open air Onsen bath. It is going to be a great week of skiing.
