*9.5cm of fresh snow has fallen in the last 24hrs in Hirafu Village. At 7:00 today the temperature was -4°C. We didn’t receive as much snowfall overnight as we were hoping for but none the less it still should be pretty sweet up there again today. It is a calm morning out there and the conditions will again be ….UNREAL!
