Iwatake / △65cm / Cloudy2017.Jan.08
The sky was overcast and the cold abated this morning. East was nicely firm and in good condition. It had still soft feel of powdery snow. 5 people from Kanagawa Pref. posed me in East.

In the beginning part of East, some pebbles and the ground were exposed, but the other parts were fine. North was also nicely firm. There were many ski tracks already at around 10:00 a.m, but it remained still flat.
[North]
Today, the lower part in the shades of North was not hard and the all slope was generally in good condition, so I could ski comfortable. Because today is the second day of these three straight holidays, so both of East and North were crowded with people and it took about 3 minutes to get on 3-sen North.

The upper part of Gezan Course had enough amount of snow, but in the lower part, especially around the upper station of Paradise Triple, there were many bushes and pebbles exposed. Those courses made experts rather than beginners give shrieks because although beginners used rental gears but experts used their own skies and snowboards.
