So the sun did make an appearance yesterday, but early this morning we also have some fresh snow on the ground! It can't seem to make it's mind up at the moment.
We are already back to sun and increasingly blue skies, but that brief snowfall gave us a few cm of fresh.
Moderate winds again unfortunately, but as of 7:30am Grand Hirafu seems to be planning to open as normal but keep an eye on that.
