Night Riding Grand Hirafu
What better way to begin the biggest celebration of the year than scoring freshies under the lights in Grand Hirafu. We’ve been there, and experienced it and it sure as hell puts you in a good mood for the night ahead. Just remember, stay safe both on the mountain and in the streets.
