Happo one / ◎165cm / light cloudy2019.Jan.15
The sun was shining lightly from the high cloudy sky. According to the official announcement, the temperature at the upper area of the slope was -9℃, but we didn’t feel cold because of no wind. The sound of the eadges echoed on the steep slope at the early stage of Usagidaira Slope.

We could enjoy sliding from the middle of Usagidaira and on the gentle slopes in Kurobishi with compacted snow. The people gathered later than these three day holidays, so some seniors slided at high speed and made a lot of traces in Kurobishi Slope.

The dark cloud came from the west sky and the lines of the Hakuba mountains stranded out with the light shining. The compacted area of the Skyline Course was good condition especially at the early stage. There were some area with grounds because there were not much snow. The last stage was nice with the sun shining.

We found many foreigners, including three people from Australia. The snow of the slopes in Sakihana, Kokusai and Shirakaba was hard. And there were some area without snow in the courses between the slopes, so we had to pay attention to them.
