What’s happening today
The Hirafu ski ground will deliver some as usual catching the gondola up and flying down Nikabe and Kogen is one of the best early morning loops anywhere on the mountain. Any of the un groomed runs like Konayuki will be probably best avoided due to the freeze thaw conditions.
