REPORT

The light rain that fell during the day yesterday had stopped, and moist snow began to fall early this morning. On the firm, groomed wet snow surface of the Champion Slope (pictured), there was about 7 to 8 cm of fresh, moist snow. While there were some harder spots, my edges gripped well, allowing for smooth and controlled turns.

I spoke with a group from Shizuoka, who told me, “We always check your reports! We’re here skiing today and tomorrow. Don’t the kids (pictured, foreground) have school? Actually, we took them out of school to come—let’s call it an extracurricular lesson!” On the Oya-no-hara and Karamatsu Slopes, 5 to 7 cm of fresh, moist snow topped the well-packed wet snow bases.

This is a quick reminder that the Tsugaike Favorite Restaurant Championship is currently ongoing, and accepting votes until 3/14 (Fri.). At Tsugaike Yokocho’s Beer & Chips, stop by for the Fish and Chips (pictured: medium size, ¥1,600) and pair it with a beer from the selection of domestic and international beers, including craft options. The dish comes packed with crispy fries and fish, plus plump garlic shrimp and chewy zeppoline (Italian fried donuts), making it a hearty treat!

Let’s rewind back to the early morning. The Han-no-ki Slope had a firm, groomed wet snow base topped with 3 to 5 cm of moist fresh snow for fast and fun conditions. Please note that due to the 31st Annual All Japan Slopestyle and Big Air Snowboard Championships taking place from 3/4 (Tue.) to 3/5 (Wed.), access to the One Course will be restricted.
