It is another beautiful, clear morning.
There will probably be more cloud around tomorrow, but the sun should remain with us.
At Niseko Grand Hirafu, you need to get the Ace Number 2 center four quad (or the Gondola when that is open on weekends).
6 lifts remain operating and they appear to be opening up as planned.
