The slope was non-compacted because there was not much snow. Anyway, the dry snow was nicely firm and my skis ran smoothly. There were ups and downs, and small bushes were exposed here and there. So, I went down carefully at first.

The slope gradually got crowded as it’s New Year’s holiday. However, there was no waiting line for the lifts as of 9 a.m.

The dining space at THE CITY BAKERY was crowded with visitors (※Open 9 a.m.~3:30p.m., sandwiches served from 10:30 a.m.~) It’s great to have a cup of coffee in the warm place, admiring the Nothern Alps. I saw people taking commemorative photos and landscape photos at the terrace, using tripods.
