REPORT

Assuming that the winter season runs from 11/30 (Sat.) to 5/6 (Tue.), for a total of 158 days, tomorrow, 2/16 (Sun.), will mark the halfway point. In other news, 2/16 (Sun.) also happens to be the first day the Hakuba-Nagano Toll Road will be free of charge. By the way, the drive to Goryu47 takes 58 minutes from Nagano I.C. and 1 hour and 1 minute from Koshoku I.C. With less than a 5-minute difference, if I were coming from the Tokyo area, I would get off at Koshoku I.C. and take Route 383 followed by Route 31.

This morning brought calm and sunny weather with clouds to the east. The Panorama Course (pictured) and the upper part of Route 8 featured moderately-packed, slightly powdery groomed wet snow, while the Grand Prix Course offered a wet snow base that also had a powdery feel, but was more firmly packed. I met two visitors from Shizuoka and Ishikawa who said, “We always check your reports! The weather and the slopes are perfect today.”

The Able Hakuba Goryu Presents Ski Technical Contest 2025 was underway on the Iimori Slope. I ran into a woman from Shizuoka (pictured, left) and two members of the Mizuno Demo Team (pictured, center and right), who said, “Oh, Snownavi! We always read your reports! We’re aiming for victory today!”

The Toomi Slope, Powder Snow Course (pictured), and Soft Cream Course all featured moderately firm, powder-like and easy-to-ski groomed wet snow. Along the 6th Pair lift on the Powder Snow Course, a mogul lane had been set up that was available for use by everyone.
