Tsugaike Kogen / ◎160cm / Snowy2017.Jan.12
An ideal winter atmospheric pattern has come over Japan and brings good heavy snow with gentle wind. Umanose Course was open as soon as Tsuga No.2 Pair started the operation at 8:40 a.m. Experts rushed into the fresh snow one after another under the gloomy sky covered with thick snow clouds.
[Umanose Course]
The somewhat steep beginning part of Umanose was groomed and covered with 15cm fresh snow. After enjoying easy skiing, the steepest slop (32° at the maximum) appeared in front of me. There was over 50cm powdery snow on the big bumps and we could feel like floating on the wave!

The flat slope from the lower Umanose to Shirakaba had a 15－20cm snowfall and in easy condition. Today, the totally 2,400-meter long course from Umanose (1,500m) to Shirakaba (900m) was the best and I wished I could ski there again and again if I had a enough time.

To my surprise, the lower areas such as Champion, Shirakaba, Maruyama, Kane-no-naru-oka No.2 and Oya-no-hara were very quiet. It was because today was a weekday in January and most of people climbed up to the upper parts to seek powdery snow. At 9:30 a.m, 20-centimeter snow was on the gentle slope of Oya-no-hara already.
