REPORT

This morning the sky was filled with high clouds that still afforded views of the Northern Alps. The cold returned to the slopes, and frost-covered trees could be seen on the mid-to-upper sections of the resort. While long-term forecasts had predicted a rapid warm-up in March, this week has felt more like a typical transition, with a mix of warm and cold days that balanced eachother out.

On the well-packed groomed wet snow base of the Grand Prix Course (pictured), there were some hard packed areas, but my edges gripped well, allowing for controlled and fluid turns. I overheard visitors saying the conditions were “better than expected” and “really easy to ski.”

The Panorama Course and the upper part of Route 8 (pictured) had moderately firm, groomed wet snow bases. The sea of clouds could be seen to the southeast and north from the top of the ski resort. I was able to execute smooth, comfortable turns on the firmly-packed, groomed wet snow of the Dynamic and Woody Courses.

The Toomi Slope and Powder Snow Course had firm, groomed wet snow surfaces, while the groomed wet snow on the Soft Cream Course slightly less firm. By the way, this weekend the Toomi Slope will host several exciting events: the Hakuba Goryu & 47 Snow Festival on 3/8 (Sat.), the BURTON ‘26 Season Model Test Ride from 3/8 (Sat.) to 3/9 (Sun.), and the PEACEMAKER SNOWSKATE Test Ride on 3/9 (Sun.).
