What’s happening today
Today we will head up to Niseko Mt. Resort Grand Hirafu and ride down the open Kokutai before challenging ourselves with a few quick turns between the trees in Onsenzawa Waterfall can often also yield a few hidden powder stashes.
The views will be spectacular today and recommend hiking Mt. Annupuri to take in the views.
Herbie’s Umbrella Bar will be holding their second Rail Jam this evening from 5:00 which will definitely worth a look.
