*12cm of fresh snow has fallen in the last 24hrs in Hirafu Village. At 7:00 today the temperature was -5°C. A blast of cold air and a fresh dump of light and dry powder is exactly what we needed here in Niseko!!! We can expect the snowfall to continue on and off through out the day and conditions will be fun on the mountain!
Although it may seem bottomless ( we hope it is higher up on the mountain ) chances are there will still be icy sections so please be careful, ride within your limits and look out for your fellow boarders and skiers. Have a fantastic powder filled day!!
