REPORT

This morning, a natural comedic moment unfolded on the Ikenota Slope when I botched the pronunciation of the Kanto-based social club (pictured), calling them, “I… Imosento?”, to which they enthusiastically corrected me, saying, “It’s Innocence!” They shared, “We always check your updates! We’re here skiing as a group of about 30 members and will be enjoying a lively party tonight at the Meteor Log Hotel, which we’ve booked entirely for ourselves.”

I also spoke with a few Cortina Ski School instructors, who mentioned, “We always read your reports! Since the beginning of March, we’ve had many graduation trip groups joining our lessons. The ski school will remain open until 3/30 (Sun.), just like the ski resort!” This morning, the Rabbit Course (pictured) and Snake Course had well-packed, groomed granular snow conditions.

Although there were some patches of dirty snow in the ungroomed areas, the groomed runs were beautifully-maintained and easy to ski. Please note that the 5th Pair will operate until tomorrow, while the 3rd Quad (pictured, left) and 6th Pair will run until 3/23 (Sun.). After that, only the 1st Pair, 2nd Quad, and 4th Pair will be in operation. The Ikenota Slope had moderately firm, groomed spring corn snow, while the Ipponmatsu Course featured a firmly packed, groomed granular snow base.

A father from Toyama (pictured, far right) commented, “I love Snownavi! My son just graduated from junior high school, and my daughter from elementary school, so we decided to celebrate with an overnight ski trip. This is our first time at Cortina, and we’re also looking forward to our stay at Hotel Green Plaza Hakuba tonight. Meanwhile, my wife, who isn’t here with us, is already enjoying the hotel!” By the way, tomorrow, 3/16 (Sun.), is Kids Ski Day, where elementary school students can ride the lifts at half price!
