Iwatake / △70cm / Snowy2017.Jan.12
The snow was falling on and off from the evening of day before yesterday. And there were about 15 cm of fresh snow. East was getting rough at around 10 a.m. but the snow was soft and it was easy to skiing.

VIEW C was opened first time after 30 Dec. The run was soft powder snow condition. There were some ups and downs because of ski turns but no bushy area in the run so I could ski comfortably.

I could make the turns easily at the soft run of South area with 15 cm of fresh snow on it. “We always checking your website!” said the staff of ski area. They were enjoying the powder snow on a day off.

There were few people in the Gezan Course, so the many fresh snow were still left at the side of the course before noon. The snow was falling heavily and north wind was was getting strong as the time passes. The weather forecast said the winter pressure pattern will continue, so I hope that all the courses will open soon.
