It’s partly cloudy and warm morning. I hope everyone had a great day yesterday, enjoyed the last powder. I went to Grand Hirafu and took K4 single lift. Top gate opened straight away so I hiked up to the peak and had an amazing run at Fujiwara and #2 gully. Snow above 800 m was in great condition like real winter!!
Today, if we want to find good snow, we need to hike up and find North faces. It might be too windy for the peak of Mt. Annupuri. I might go to Moiwa today, looking for left over in the trees. And Hanazono Banked Slalom is on today! Due to the popularity of this event registration is full, but it’s still fun to watch! Racing starts at 11AM and the award ceremony is at 230PM.
It might snow a bit for next few days. Hopefully it won’t get too warm.
