Sunny days

It has been sunny and warm (hot!) for quite many days. Faces at the lodge have started to remind tomatoes and we have great excuses to eat ice cream. I have been lucky to be able to explore the backcountry of Happoone a bit more. The runs have been ok, usually a bit icy in the beginning but good lower down. The company has been great and I have truly enjoyed my last week in Japan. Now it's raining so it's good time to go through pics and nice memories...


On of these mornings...Henkka on the icy & windy ridge


It gets better as soon as we make it over the ice, Tuomo, north side


Ville kindly guided us to a super sweet spot

Lunch & nap break in the warm valley, Kirsti


Getting back to civilisation requires some hiking
