5 cm of new snow has fallen in the last 12 hours. It’s cloudy and snowy morning.
Cold winter has finally come back to Niseko!! It was cold and windy last night. I hope strong wind didn’t blow all snow out. We might touch icy bottom still, please ride carefully. Grand Hirafu has announced that Miharashi course opens from today. We can access Miharashi from Hirafu Gondola. I like this course as I can enjoy powder tree runs and great location. Miharashi means *great view point* in Japanese:)
A heavy snow fall is forecast during tonight and tomorrow morning. Get ready for powder!
