*12.5cm of fresh snow has fallen in the last 24hrs in Hirafu Village. At 7:00 today the temperature was -4°C. Almost an exact repeat of yesterdays conditions! With continued snowfall throughout most of yesterday and overnight the snow conditions should be beautiful up there. Hard to say if we can expect bottomless turns….but there is only one way to find out!
