Snowfall in Hirafu Village, 2 December 2013
Moderate snowfall in the village this morning with no wind.
Yesterday Niseko Village Ski Ground and Niseko Annupuri Ski Ground opened.
If you are looking for long runs head over to Niseko Annupuri as they are running the Annupuri Gondola which guarantees the long runs…and no ‘downloading in other words, taking the lift back down the mountain past fields of forbidden powder as you are required to do in Grand Hirafu.
Hopefully the snowfall will continue this week and the resort will be able to open up the lower mountain in the next few days.
