What’s happening today
This could be the last time to ride in Hanazono this season as it will soon close! The choice of runs today is Youtei Sunset, which should be awesome if you score first tracks. Legend of Shinya if you like to hit bumps on your skis and Crystal Garden to take you to the park then Renraku to get you back to Hirafu village.
Igloo build day two
Who would have thought that building an igloo required so much effort (thank you everyone who has helped out)!? Having some experience of doing it before would also help. It’s not finished yet but maybe today it will be. Here is how it looks.
