Kashimayari / 30cm / Snowy2017.Jan.05

The snow falling from the early morning had stopped at around 10:00 a.m. It was very cold (-6 degrees) and we had fresh snow this morning as well, so the groomed slopes were in fine condition. The ski run of Course 1-A also got much better and was nicely firm.
[Course 1: Toomi Grand View A]
I found kids and beginners taking lessons in the flat and wide gentle slope of Kashima. Among them, some experts showed their skillful turns. Chuo Area was already so crowded with a lot of people that No.2 Pair and No.3 Quad had a line.
[Course 3: Kashima]
After that, the weather got better and we could see the blue sky after 10:30 a.m. However, it was blowing a cold wind still and we felt very chilly when the sunlight was blocked off. Two people from Saitama and Tokyo Pref. were enjoying snowboarding after staying overnight.
[Course 3: Kashima]
There were many ski tracks on the slope of Kurosawa, but it was not rough. By the way, “Kashima Rindo Course”, a detour course from the upper station of No.1 Quad to Kashima, have been open since Jan. 2 (Mon). Thanks to that, beginners can go down to Central Plaza 1130 safely, avoiding the steep slopes.
