*16cm of fresh snow has fallen in the last 24hrs in Hirafu Village. At 7:00 today the temperature was -7°C. Oh yeah! A solid dump overnight. Snow is clinging to everything in Hirafu even on top of power lines. If the wind stays down it is ON…either way if the top lifts don’t open there will still be sensational turns to be had anywhere in Niseko United….if the upper lifts open…..dreams will come true!
