Sanosaka / ◎150cm / Sunny2021.Feb.28
Sanosaka was opened for the first time for sunrise skiing/snowboarding. It was still dark at 5:30 am before Castle Plaza opened (pictured). I parked my car and walked to Carving Slope, shining LED light on the ground. No.2 and 3 Quad began operation on time at 6 am and the day broke.

Granular snow was tightly packed on Family Slope (pictured). It was so quiet I only heard
the sound of edging. For your information, the early morning skiing/snowboarding ticket is 2,000 yen (*valid from 6 to 8 am). It costs 5,000 yen if you add the three-hour ticket (*valid from 6 am to 11 am), and 6,300 yen (adults) / 5,500 yen (secondary school students) / 4,400 yen (children) if you add the one-day ticket (valid from 6 am to 3:30 pm). They are all available only at the ticket counter.

I saw a group of 20 skiers and snowboarders around No.3 Quad station before sunrise. “We’re all working around the Hakuba area, at hotels, schools, shops, and places like that. What a beautiful sunrise it is!”, I made small talk with the three ladies pictured. Everyone seemed impressed with the beautiful sunrise.
[Lakedown Course]
The slope was pink before sunrise, then turned pale yellow and white. Groomed granular snow was a little bit loose in the morning sunlight on Lakedown Course (pictured in the third photo) and on Paradise Slope (pictured).
