This pic doesn't do the setting justice. There are candles inside this hole in the snow, real cute Jack 'o' Lantern stuff.
Xmas and NY went by in a blur as I was working right up till 2005 ended but a few days off to let me chill have helped. Went to a fantastic onsen in Rankoshi, near Niseko, and then to Sapporo for a night.
Feeling better but still not sure about having to jump back in the saddle tomorrow
