With Day 1 over, it was time to move to our main Resort, where we’d be got the next 5 nights. Our bags had been taken between the resorts by our 2nd tour guide John (Jack Snr we called him) so we checked in and were hanging around the Lounge when [USER=24283]@rugbyskier[/USER] spied another gaijin (from Sydney) in the check-in line they’d met a couple of years ago. Small world indeed.
So now it was time to check out our new room:

A lovely gift and the nuts soon became a fixture of our afternoon post-skiing ritual with a cuppa.

Not a shabby view - down below us was the ski path to go down to the Resort.

But first, a night in the bar/lounge off the foyer, with a view to the trees in the photo above and kids (not ours) building snowmen outside the floor to ceiling glass windows.

The bar manager Fuji-san became a nightly fixture when we went down. His English was great.
