Happo-one / △85cm / Snowy2016.Dec.11
It was snowy on the first weekend after the opening of Happo-one. The temperature was so cold, -7 degrees, that light grooves were not enough and my hands got numb soon. It was snowing not heaviliy, however visibility was very poor because of the thick fog in the 3 available courses.

“Finally, the Winter has started!”, a skiing group from Kansai and Hokuriku said to me. The gloomed slope along Kurobishi No.2 Quad was nicely soft and flat, so I could comfortably make turns again and again.

The trees are covered with frost and made a wintry veiw in a monotone. The detour course through the trees of Panorama Course led us to the white world. Snowboarders and families looked to enjoy the zigzag slope.

The north part of Panorama Course was firm and covered with thin fresh snow, while the south slope was nicely firm and not crowded. Expert skiers turns beautifully with high speed and it impressed me.
