*0.5cm of fresh snow has fallen in the last 24hrs in Hirafu Village. At 7:00 today the temperature was -11°C. An absolutely freezing morning in Hirafu! Yesterdays surprise ‘bluebird’ clear conditions took everyone by surprise and again it looks like we can expect sunny periods again here in Niseko. We still have snow in the forecast…when it will hit but how much will fall is still anyones’s guess. The groomed runs are in superb condition so have fun out there.
