Happo-one / △85cm / Snowy2016.Dec.13
The temperature in Usagidaira was not so cold, -2 degrees, so it was a good day in spite of snowing. Damp snow like sleet was falling in the mountain foot, but the upper parts from Panorama Course had fine snow. 5-8cm fresh damp snow covered the gloomed slope in Usagidaira.

The slope got rough soon because of the snow easy to harden. However, Happo always has a lot of experts and they enjoyed high-speed skiing and snowboarding in the morning. In the begining and middle parts of the south slope of Usagidaira, I found snow less than the other part and some bushes.

Until 10:00 a.m. when I climbed down, the weather changed quickly like that sometimes it got thickly foggy, the soft sunlight was cast and the clouds broke up. Besides, it kept snowing for a long while.

Panorama Course got very crowded with people after 9:0 a.m. The 5cm fresh snow was stepped soon and the slope became flat enough for easily skiing and snowboarding.
