Cortina / ◎350cm / Snowy2017.Feb.10
The snow which started to fall yesterday increased in force late last night, and it was still falling heavily this morning. At the upper area of Hiedayama-one Course, the northern wind was blowing while repeating strong and gentle. Sometimes visibility became very poor because of the snow was blown up by the wind and the snowfall.

There were about 40 cm soft fresh snow on Mt. Hieda 3, as I expected. The experts ran down with big snow spray one after another, and soon a lot of ski tracks covered the slope. Many people were running into Tree Area and I heard their cheers from all over.

As I went down to the middle part of Mt. Hieda 3, the wind dropped and the snow calmed down. The amount of fresh snow was not so different at the last part of the course near Ikenota. Some people were stalling and stuck at the gentle slope. The run of Ikenota was soft and good to ski. There was almost no fresh snow on the run, it might be because grooming was late. On the other hand, there was about 20 cm of snow on the side of the course.

Only the run along No.6 pair lifts was groomed for as wide as two grooming car. Almost all area of wide Warabidaira Slope was “a field of powder snow.” 4 people who gave me the watchword, “We always enjoy your reports!” skied down the steep slope with lots of fresh snow after being taken pictures. The beginning part was packed by the strong wind, and there were some hard slopes under the fresh snow.
