Hakuba Norikura / ◎260cm / Snowy2017.Jan.17
Around 10:00 am, the snow calmed down and a soft sunlight began to shine. Since the amount of snow had increased rapidly in a short time and the snow surface became unstable, so Sky View area was closed. This morning, there were many people from foreign countries who give up skiing in Cortina because the upper courses were closed including this family from Australia.
[Highway Course]
The amount of snow was over 60 cm and it was as high as my thigh. The upper part of Highway Course got rough already but the snow was dry and soft, so it was comfortable to ski. In the Self-responsibility area in the south of Highway Course and I could enjoy fluffy powder snow.
[Self-responsibility Area]
The lower part of Highway Course was not groomed and there were 50 cm fresh snow. Since the amount of snow had increased and the playing areas were widened. I saw a snowboarders doing big back flips, making use of the topography. The mogul course were buried in the fresh snow and the staffs were making the lane in good condition rapidly.
[High Way Course]
I could enjoy skiing on soft fresh snow everywhere this morning. People looked happy and they were giving a shout of joy. However, I saw some people stuck on the gentle slope of Wakaguri Central Area and Hakunori Family Course. The groomed area was soft powder snow condition and I could ski comfortably.
