A few cm of new snow has fallen in the last 12 hours. It’s a dark morning like yesterday but not snowing at this moment.
Grand Hirafu finally opened their all lifts and courses yesterday! Moiwa gate 6 is scheduled to open today. However, the bushes are still thick. If you still want to try but don’t know the area well, you should go with a guide. Other gates are delayed opening due to lack of snow.
All banks and government offices close their business for this year today. Better hurry to withdraw some cash or paper work, otherwise they will close till the 4th of January.
Strong wind and big snow fall is expected tonight. Have a nice day!
