What’s happening today
It’s crystal clear out there so why not head over to Hanazono this morning and if you like the bumping hit the Legend of Shinya ski run. But if you’re not into moguls why not try riding Youtei Sunset and then Crystal Garden, when you are finished you can drop down Renraku to get back to Hirafu.
