Tsugaike the day after 50-70cm of snowfall. Shirakaba slope is open! OK!
! I was so happy that I made the wrong ski choice. For some reason, it's
NTN, and it's a combination with GSski. . Ah, how did I forget that there
was 50cm of snow? If the snow piles up to 50 cm, no matter how powerful
the snow compaction machine you use, it will still be fluffy. There you
are, GSski... At the first turn, I was like, “Mmm.” The following is
a situation where I'm kind of scared and the big turns are dangerous. Still,
the first Shirakaba slope of the season was impressive. That distance (1200m).
and slope (average 16°). And the spaciousness. Non-stop is just right.
I thoroughly enjoyed it! As long as the champion slope (1000m/average 26°)
moves, there will be no complaints. The usual Shirakaba → Champion routine.
The car is always parked under the champion slope. Therefore, if you head
from Hakunori, just before Tsugaike (gondola), turn right and go to the
parking lot. That's why I don't feel like I've come to Tsugaike (huh?).
It felt like a different slope from Hakunori (Sorry to everyone in Tsugaike).
Even with the same Hakunori, I rarely go to Satomi, so it feels like there
are Wakaguri slope, Maki no Iri, Champion and Shirakaba slope in front
of me. That is my slope. On the other hand, when you say ``Tsugaike,''
you either take a gondola ride up there, or you go to the Kanenaru slope.
It turns out. Well, it doesn't really matter, so I'm sorry. . Now on to
the main topic. Today is GSski, so I'm using boots in SKI MODE, which is
rare. Ah, the positional relationship and other aspects are quite different
from the usual WALK MODE. . The point of action inside the boots is much
closer to the toes. And from that point on, pressure is put on ski. It
feels a little more powerful. Hmm. . So I went downhill about 3 times and
somehow... So, this time, I'm in the usual WALK MODE, and I'm in my usual
mood, with a feeling of "Shuru~n". Ah well. . Eventually, when
the slope conditions are perfect, I'll try to imitate carving. In SKI MODE.
