What’s happening today
Today we are off to Niseko Annupuri for some classic high speed turns on the groomed runs. There will be a beautiful layer of fresh snow sitting on top of the piste and Utopia will be on, we’ll catch our breath on Panorama before launching ourselves down Dynamic.
We’ll take lunch at Del Sole and get some pizza from the wood fired oven. And tonight we are in for a real treat, eating lobster at The Barn.
