Snowfall in Hirafu Village, 21 January 2016
Snowfall in Hirafu Village, 21 January 2016

17cm of fresh snow has fallen in the last 24hrs in Hirafu Village. At 7:00 today the temperature was -4°C. After 2 days of wild weather and closed lifts it looks like this morning all the pent up energy will explode all over Niseko United!! That’s right folks there is a very good chance the upper lifts will open and first tracks glory awaits! Please read the avalanche report as there will be all sorts of avalanche danger and extreme caution is advised for anyone going through the gates this morning…if they open. Have a fun out there!
