Happo-one / △80cm / Sunny2019.Dec.16
It was a beautiful morning with the cold air because of the radiative cooling. The temperature gradually went up without wind and it felt nice by the time Gondola started working at 8 a.m. I got a fine view of Shirouma Sanzan on Alpen Quad and at Kurobishi Slope (in the photo). I also saw Mt. Asama and Mt. Yatsugatake in the hazy eastern sky.

The middle slope along Kurobishi No.2 Quad (in the photo), which faces north, was covered with natural powder snow without any bush! I enjoying carving up the corduroy. Usagidaira Slope was nicely firm with some gentle bumps on the surface.

Artificial snow, which accumulated by the early morning, was firmly compacted at the top and middle northern area of Panorama Course. I enjoyed skiing with edges, making a cloud of snow dust. The steep bottom part was hard. My ski edges dug into the snow and I enjoyed skiing down fast.

“We enjoy your reports. It’s chilly but the snow is really nice.”, three skiers from Shiga and Yamanashi Prefecture said. The southern slope of Panorama Course was non-compacted with some gentle bumps. It was not hard and great.
