*18cm of fresh snow has fallen in the last 24hrs in Hirafu Village. At 7:00 today the temperature was 0°C.
Another quality dump and we couldn’t ask for more.
Temperatures will increase tomorrow but only for a day as a monster cold front is looming over Siberia and is expected to hit the region on with full force Saturday bringing with it extremely cold temperatures and heavy snowfall!

How’s the Snow?
Conditions just keep getting better and better. The cold temperatures have sucked a lot of the moisture out of the initial base layer and fast light dry powder is accumulating on top in epic proportions.
