What’s happening today
No need to travel very far to find a quiet ski slope at the moment so I’m just going to head to Hirafu and enjoy riding on Kogen, Large, Ni-Kabe and a personal favourite, Old Lift Line.
Spring blue bird
Yesterday the weather gave us blue sky’s for the most of the day, I can hardly believe it is almost April but there were a few signs of Spring starting to show around Niseko.
