REPORT

It was a calm morning with thin clouds stretched across an otherwise clear sky. As part of a new trail offering for this year, HAPPO PARKS (pictured) has been issuing park-only 1-day lift tickets since 3/11 (Mon.). The tickets are on sale until 3/24 (Sun.), cost ¥4,000 for adults, and allow holders to ride the Sakka Kitaone Quad and Kitaone 3 Lift. This morning, each of the park elements were in great condition, having been completely remade from 3/14 (Thu.) to 3/15 (Fri.).

The current items consist of several banks, a 6-meter multi-kicker (first photo), a table, another 6-meter kicker, a multi, two round banks, an UNAGI spine, and a hip jump. One of the park diggers showed me a beautiful turn on one of the banks (pictured) set up along the beginning of the Kitaone 3 Pair.

I was impressed watching snowboarders send up powerful sprays of snow as they navigated the round bank (pictured). I also watched in awe as some people transitioned from the round bank to massive air on the 6-meter multi-kicker (first photo). The south route of Usagidaira, the area along the Kurobishi Quad, and the Skyline Course were all groomed with firm granular snow surfaces.

I spoke with a mother from Kagawa Prefecture (pictured, left), who told me, “I love your site! I’m here for two weeks with my daughter who is on spring break. She’s about to take a lesson with the Hakuba Happo-One Ski School and I am headed to the moguls.” The moguls along the Kurobishi 3 Pair featured hard-packed granular snow in the morning, but can be expected to loosen up during the day.
