Happo-one / △60cm / Snowy2019.Dec.24
The southern coastal cyclone passed northeast and became a winter type pressure arrangement, and dry snow fell on the upper ski area. In the first half (photo) of the Usagidaira slope, artificial snow on a large bump is crusted and the board is difficult to turn. A bush was scattered in the latter half of the small bump with fresh snow about 10 cm.

Perhaps the timing of the compaction was just before the opening, the fresh snow on the Kurobishi 2nd Quad lift where the powder snow was moderately tight was about 1 cm (comfortable to ride!). Gas was gone around 8:30am (Photo), but after about 10 minutes, it turned into a dense gas again. On the non-compacted snow part on the third pair lift side, fresh snow, which was “fluffy”, was piled up about 10 cm.

The gas diminished when I slid down to the panorama course. On the south side of the non-compact snow panorama course (pictured), fresh snow is about 7 cm on a moderately tight undulation. The northern snow compaction slope was moderately tightened, and it was easy for a fresh snow to slide on it for about 1 cm. Due to the artificial snow that occurs almost every day, the bush was only slightly seen early in the south.

The trees in the middle ski area to the upper area turned white again with hoarfrost. The Lindou course (forest road course) that bypasses the panorama course has a flat ground + fresh snow 1-2 cm. In particular, the panorama course was very popular with foreign and Japanese beginners and intermediate visitors.
