REPORT

First we had strong winds, and now comes the Asian Dust. In line with the Nagano Regional Meteorological Observatory’s announcement that Asian Dust was expected to blow in across a wide area of the prefecture from the 25th to the 26th, it has indeed arrived in full force in the HAKUBA VALLEY. Today, the temperature was warm right from the early morning, and even after taking off an inner layer, it still felt hot.

As you can see, the view looking down from the mountain was hazy. The Panorama Course (first photo) had a soft, groomed granular snow surface, while the east-facing Grand Prix Course (pictured), was even softer and slushier than the Panorama Course. The conditions on both courses offered a smooth glide.

The ungroomed Technical Course had moderately sized, soft moguls, while the Dynamic Course and Woody Course also had slushy, groomed granular snow surfaces. As I descended to the Toomi slope, the soft surface layer thickened, and the snow became an even slushier, more granular texture.

As for the base depth, there is still plenty of snow left on the Iimori slope, which will close for the season at the end of the day on 3/30 (Sun.)! The Powder Snow Course and Soft Cream Course, both with slushy, groomed granular snow, had no areas no areas of thin snow cover or exposed brush.
