Although we have had no accumulatve snowfall in Hirafu village overnight yesterday afternoon we did see significant snowfall with some huge flakes coming down. The warmer temperatures meant the fresh snow melted in the village but higher up on the mountain there should be some excellent snow to be found. Our pick is to get up high and hope for the best. Later today colder temperates and wild weather is expected and this should continue over the weekend so make the most of it today!
If you're heading off piste:
• Always check the avalanche report
• And familiarise yourself with the Niseko Rules
