Hakuba Iwatake / △85cm / Sunny2020.Jan.19
We have less snow this year than usual. Five courses on the mountainside, including South (pictured), East, North, VIEW C and VIEW D, were open today. It was a beautiful day. People arrived relatively late, although it was a weekend.

The snow was groomed as wide as a pisten bully in the top part of South Slope, which had undulating. Meanwhile, the groomed area was wide with no bushes in the middle part, although I was worried the groomed area would be narrow. The snow was wet but nice. I enjoyed sliding down fast while enjoying the view.

The snow was thoroughly groomed on the East, which opened first in Iwatake. There were few people and I enjoyed making long and short turns. It’s “Ski Children’s Day” today as it’s the third Sunday. Elementary school children can use lifts for free (※Always free of charge for pre-school children.)
