It was a clear morning with a pleasant breeze blowing from the northwest. I spoke with a couple living in Hakuba Village (pictured), with the husband telling me, “We love your site. This is my wife’s first time at Hakunori, and my second.” I ran into them again as I was finishing up my report, and was told, “The groomers here are great, and there’s a nice variety of runs!”
[Kamoshika Course]
Excellent, firmly-groomed powder snow conditions continued on the Highway Course (pictured here & third photo) and Kamoshika Course (first photo), and I was able to link controlled, comfortable turns on the ideal surfaces! The high-level skiers flying down the empty slopes after the busy three-day weekend were an impressive sight to see.

I crossed paths with a skier from Canada (pictured, second from right),who said, “I know Snownavi. Conditions are great today. I’m here with three others from Canada and Australia.” The groomed courses were all well-maintained and in good condition, as was the mogul course on the latter half of Highway.
[Highway Course]
The broad Wakaguri Central Slope (pictured) had an impressive flat finish, and both it and the Rabbit Course had well-packed powder snow surfaces similar to Highway. In other news, today, a separate contingent from Snownavi took the Alps No. 11 Pair up to the top of the mountain, and we’ll release their report tomorrow!
