Tomamu ski resort, 150km east of Sapporo, right in the middle of Hokkaido. Viewed from the top floor of the Galleria Hotel. Shot behind glass windows on a hazy day. Snow at mountain top was blocked by the clouds.
Dad's picking up the jet ski he and Jayne (my stepmum) bought. Being towed by dad's Mini :P
