At 9:40a.m., Happo Riesen Quad started to move. Today, all the courses that can be slid are non-compacting snow, and there are hard tight undulations at the beginning of the Riesen Slalom course (pictured). During the middle to late stages of Riesen, the snow surface was loosening.

The ski slopes at the bottom of the ski slopes lacked snow. The only exception was the Nakiyama Slope Public Course, which performs artificial snowfall. There were no bushes or thin snow areas. The small snow were stiff right after opening at 9 o’clock and loosened in about 30 minutes.
