Hakuba Iwatake / ◎180cm / Cloudy2019.Jan.28
It was high‐cloudy weather in the early morning but the clouds got thick as of 10 a.m. and the ridge line of the Northern Alps started to hide. At the summit area, you can enjoy authentic craft beer at the pop-up bar of “T.Y. HARBOR BREWERY”. Enjoy 4 types of beer such as pale ale (JPY800 each) with the great view from the summit.

I felt cold at North because of east wind. Many beginners and intermediates are trying DC PARK. The groomed slope was nicely firm and I could make approach run easily. There is a kicker at the middle part of the course and starting point is at crossing point of 3sen North and the course.

I could increase the speed after the middle part where slope start to get steep at nicely firm VIEW D. Gezan Course was nicely firm and Sunny Valley Course was firm. The slope was bit hard at the last part of Paradise and there were some snow balls.
