Iwatake / △55cm / Snowy2017.Jan.04
The strong wind caused all the lifts delayed, and so the gondola started operation at 10:30 a.m. There was a long line for the gondola. As soon as it arrived at the top, a bunch of people were headed for East and North which were available area.

At the top, it was snowing and the cold wind was blowing. There was fresh snows on the soft-grounding at East area where the snow was groomed. The snow was a little bit wet but the edge bit the snow well and I could make turns comfortably.

Paradise Triple started working around 8:30 a.m. Some parts of Paradise and by1 did not have enough snow. But since the all of staffs did a maintenance, placing snows on slopes, before the open. So there was no worry to skiing on small stones or bushes.

This two looks like a couple, but actually they met 15 minutes ago in a line for the gondola. I think one of the most interesting parts of coming to ski area is making friends. At the bottom part, it was light-raining but sometimes the sun slightly came out of clouds.
