What’s happening today
There’s no need to venture to far from home on a powder day so Grand Hirafu will be our choice of ski ground this morning. The first run of the day is going to take us all the way to the top of the groomed trails and from there one a high speed run down Dynamic and Jumbo before a brief cruise along Green before the final drop on the Alpen.
If you want to dance the night away get your groove on at Wild Bill’s Beats Party that kicks off at 9:30pm, it’s ¥1,000 entry with progressive house, tech house and techno. DJ Koji Eguchi from Tokyo and DJ Doggie will be spinning the tunes until early in the morning.
