Tsugaike Kogen/ △50cm / Cloudy & Sunny2018.Dec.17
We will upload Tsugaike reports four times a week this season. Fresh snow lied about 12cm deep from last night till this morning along Hannoki High-Speed Pair Lift, which was available. I found beautiful corduroy patterns on it, filled with tracks of pisten.

I found some tall grasses since the amount snow was not enough yet, however, there was no problem in sliding. It was nicely soft and good to make turns. I enjoyed the texture of natural snow in the wide slope. By the way, bushes that you should not step on with skis were clearly visible, marked with red spray.

I saw a shipowner of FOREST SnowBoard Shop and regular customers. “I suppose the regular customers will enjoy snowboarding all day but I have to go soon because I will prepare for the opening of the shop”, the shopowner said. It was sunny in the morning, however, the area along Hannoki High-Speed Pair Lift was gradually covered with clouds appearing around 9:30am.

Snow laid about 25~30cm deep at the middle and lower area of Hannoki, which was still unavailable (as shown in the photo). In addition, there was about 25 cm of snow in total at the base of Champion Slope, including 5 cm of fresh slow from last night.
