Iwatake / △30cm / Sunny2016.Dec.21
I was completely attracted by the North Alps standing magnificently against the very blue sky. It kept 1.5 above warm which was quite comfortable morning. The fogs floating in this early morning was getting high and it became a kind of sea cloud at around 8:30 a.m.

The snow is still not compacted at East slope, and it was a bit hard to ski because the ski tracks from yesterday got frozen as it was. At the beginning and the end, there were snows slightly containing mud but most part of the slope kept white snow.

Since North slope also has not compacted and it was hard, I heard people making sounds as they made turns. I found some bushes after I thorough 3sen North, it seemed hard to ski for beginners.

The snow under the sun became soft enough to make turns. One woman standing in front of Sky Arc said that “I always check snownavi! I bought season pass this time so I’ll come as many times as I can”.
