Like the future the weather is a notoriuously hard thing to predict and with it ski resort opening days too.

We were eagerly awaiting Hirafu's opening day that was scheduled for November 23rd but this has unfortunately been postponed. The new opening date has yet to be announced but we are hoping it won't be too far away.

Although the resort hasn't opened there have been plenty of snowy mornings and even fresh tracks for those keen to hike. Check out these snippets from the last week or so.

With more snow in the forecast fingers crossed we'll be riding the chair before you can say dogs in the snow!
