Members Japan Ski Trip

On 21 Feb Peter Clucas led a ski trip to Grand Harifu Niseko in Japan.  The team consisted of 16 mostly Wagga blokes with 4 Wollundry Rotarians.  We travelled via a 5hr stopover in Hong Kong to Sapporo New Chitose airport on the northern island of Hokkaido in Japan. Then a 2 hr bus to Niseko.

The snow was fantastic with 4 mtr deep snow on the mountain and 2-3 mtrs in the village.  The weather was mostly blue skies for all of the week, which was a bit disappointing, as we all wanted new snow to ski the legendry Niseko powder.  Temperatures were only down to about -10C during the day, which was a bit warm for what we really wanted.

All had a great time and returned on 3 March with no-one breaking anything.
