Today's #Niseko snow story, meeting old friends

Photo

Sometimes things happen for a reason. This morning we loaded up and headed for the gondola, with the snow pumping down. At the entrance to the resort a lone figure grabbed my shoulder and said, "look out mate, you look like a trouble maker." It was an old firey mate of mine who I hadn't seen for many years.

Peter 'Horto' Horton, a dedicated surfer, Buddhist, and champion bloke, has been boarding Niseko long before the Aussies invasion. We only live 100km's from each other, yet we bump into each other in a different country.

A great day on the snow, poor visibility, but stacks of powder to be had. Now, phase 2 begins again- cards, beer, spirits, and after that, phase 3 - tuning the skis and boards with a drink or 2. The next daily stage being dinner and the nightlife.

Meeting up with Horto tonight, Lots of stories to be told between my mates and I, all of which will be appropriately embellished..
