*0.5cm of fresh snow has fallen in the last 24hrs in Hirafu Village. At 7:00 today the temperature was -9°C. Calm overcast conditions here in Niseko with the odd flake slowly drifting down to earth. The sun looks like it may make an appearance so our pick for the day would be to get up and hit the groomed runs then have a lazy Sunday as well all wait for the next dump…which won’t be far off!
