*12cm of fresh snow has fallen in the last 24hrs in Hirafu Village. At 7:00 today the temperature was -7°C. Almost an exact repeat of yesterday with another 12cm’s but yesterday’s snowfall was so heavy at times it felt like “snowmageddon” had returned. Oh well whatever, expect another amazing day out there!
