Eerie atmosphere at the summit
Looking back on the ropeway station
Kebab time!
Just one of the many sections of Zao mountain
Top of the long 10km downhill run from the summit
Good boarding conditions
Small public onsen: Shimoyu
Looking down over the city
Surrounded by snow monsters
Breakfast of champions: scrambled eggs and toast
Looking up to the summit
Looking down the main nighter slope
Central area of Zao
Evening time but I’m ready to keep going
Night goggles: go!
Pretty night time
The single indoor bath at Shimoyu
Mid mountain, with unkai (sea of cloud) in the background
