Snow Report for Rusutsu
9.00am Wrap
This is the final report for the 2009/10 season from Rusutsu. On behalf of SkiJapan I would like to thank all our guests who stayed at either the Powder Lodge or Rusutsu Resort, and got to experience some of the best skiing and riding in the world with us. It has been a great season, and we look forward to seeing even more powder hounds next year.
Todays skiing should be great fun. The snowpack is alsmost back to it's winter best, on and off piste. The snow we received over the last few days has gone a long way to repairing the damage done by the rain last week. It's still a bit crusty under the surface in some areas, but most of the mountain will have nice soft snow to play in.
