Iwatake / ◎160cm / Snowy2017.Jan.21
Today, Kamo 4 and DANGAN, a difficult course which is open for only a short period, are OPEN!! The amount of the fresh snow was about 25m in Mountain Side and we can enjoy the powdery snow in spite of the wind and fog. People from Chiba rushed into DANGAN after I took their photo.

Sawa Course, Hill Top and HIKAGE A&B were also open, so all areas except for SONEZAWA are available now! I could see the good powdery snow remaining in HIKAGE A&B where the lift was closed (You can go to HIKAGE A&B through Gezan Course).

The soft groomed slope of Sawa Course was covered with 20cm fresh snow. It was difficult to speed up in the beginning gentle slope, but we could enjoy the fluffy snow in the lower steeper slope.

The slopes of Gezan Course and Sunny Valley Course were also nicely soft, but there were some bumps because of the many ski tracks. It was still snowing heavily even in the base area, but I could see the soft sunlight in the east sometimes.
