Snow kept falling all day all night yesterday, and still falling. I went to Grand Hirafu yesterday. I took the Ace 4 top lift, top lift was closed a day before so snow was super deeeeep and untouched… Then I hiked up to the peak as the visibility got clear, I had an amazing run in Fujiwara bowl from the peak. Unbelievable!!

It’s hard to choose where to go today. Snow is deep and great everywhere! If the visibility is good, I might hike to the peak again. I was many people were stuck in snow. It might be a good timing to try new powder ski/snowboard.

One more snowy day tomorrow and sunshine is forecast for Thursday.
