Hakuba Iwatake / △90cm / Snowy2020.Jan.28
It was snowy and chilly with the strong westerly wind blowing. 3-sen North and View 2 started working late at 9:20 a.m. I enjoyed leaving ski tracks on the white snow as there were few skiers/snowboarders just after the slope opened.

The heavy fresh snow was about 10 cm deep in the top part of VIEW D. I found more fresh snow as I skied down and it was about 20 cm on the course side in the lower part. The snow was non-compacted, flat and nice overall. Some snowboarders didn’t seem able to move by themselves on the gentle slope in the middle area (pictured in the first photo).

About 10 cm of non-compacted fresh snow was heavy and rough in the top part of South Slope, compared to that in VIEW D. The snow was hard, covered with 5~7 cm of fresh snow in the middle and bottom part. East Slope was in a similar condition in South Slope.

“We look forward to your reports! We’re coming for the test-ride event. I’ll try new K2 models and they’ll try BRASTBLACK models.”, a skier (pictured left) coming from Suwa, Nagano said. The event was held for instructors, tour guides and salespeople.
