Iwatake / △55cm / Cloudy & Sunny2016.Dec.31
We could see the blue sky, but the slopes were in the shade today. I felt cold this morning, while it hardly blew a wind. A group taking a lesson posed me with strained looks because this was the first time for them to snowboard. The instructor said they would practice a sideslip at first in East.

The slopes of East and North were nicely firm and there was a relaxing atmosphere. A lot of beginners were there, so the high speed turns of experts were more impressive than usual.

VIEW C was closed, so only 2 courses, East and North, were available in Mountain Side this morning. These slopes were very busy because now is the New Year season, so it took 7－10 minutes to get on each lift. By the way, Gezan Course and Sunny Valley Course were open at 1:00 p.m. and it enabled us to ski down from the summit to the bottom.

I met a group from Tokyo, Chiba and Saitama who would ski in Iwatake until Jan. 2 (Mon). There was an expert skier among them, so he was teaching skiing to the others. They also said, “Iwatake is awesome!”
