REPORT

The snow is less than usual this season, but Akakura Onsen where is famous for its heavy snowfall has still 200cm of snow. There seems to be enough snow until the last operation day on 4/2 (Sun). This morning, the ski area was in thick fog with no wind.

The groomed slopes of Panorama Course (Photo), Downhill Chuo Course and Sekimi Area were in hard corn snow condition. In Panorama Course, the lights for night skiing were turned on because of the poor visibility and people slowed down there. In Downhill Chuo Course, Yodel No.2 Quad helped us to check the direction and after that, our visibility got better in the lower part.
