The atmosphere before the resort’s opening was filled with excitement, reminiscent of the first day of the season. Due to the heavy snow, elevated avalanche risks led to operation of the No. 4 and No. 5 Pair Lifts being suspended for the entire day yesterday, which only heightened the anticipation for deep powder on the steep slopes today. A family from Australia (pictured, left) shared, “JAPOW is the best! We’re so happy to ski powder every day.”

By the time the No. 2 Quad started operating at 8:45 a.m., the line at the lift station stretched all the way back to the No. 3 Quad (take a close look!). The Ikenota Slope (pictured) had a light dusting of 2 to 3 cm of new snow on top of a moderately soft, groomed powder snow base! However, most people continued to line up for the 2nd Quad and then moved straight to the line for the No. 4 Pair lift, making the Ikenota Slope rather quiet with few skiers.

When I dropped into my target, Mt. Hieda Course 3 (pictured), I found that 60 to 65 cm of new snow had accumulated since the lifts closed the day before, and the fluffy snow offered an incredible sensation of floating! Visitors who disembarked from the No. 4 Pair headed toward Itadaira, Hie 1, Hie 3, the tree areas, Sky View, and Ura Cortina, so even after heading back up, I was able to enjoy deep powder once again.

Although the Giant Course (pictured, center) and Itadaira Ridge Course are currently closed, the tree areas (self-responsibility zones) were open, so I saw many people heading up on the No. 5 Pair lift afterward. A skier from Norway, who had just finished riding Hie 3, mentioned, “We’re staying until tomorrow. The snow quality is fantastic, and not only is the food delicious, but the people are kind and wonderful!”
