Happo one / ◎180cm / Snowy2019.Jan.17
The wind was much stronger at the midlle and lowere area of the slope than I had imagined at the foot. Nakiyama, Shirakaba, Sakka and Sakka Kita-one Quad started operation on time at 8 am, while many lifts were suspended. The slope was getting crowded when I saw instructors at Evergreen Outdoor Center.

Powder snow was nicely firm at the compacted Kitaoe Slope. I enjoyed making turns, feeling the slope. There were firm moguls on the steep slope along Sakka Kitaone Quad, which were good to try.

Sakka Slopw was firm, flat and nice, covered with powder snow. It was very crowded as if it was a weekend because the lifts at the middle and upper area were still suspended as of 9:30. It may be good to do a basic practice on a day like this.
