朝、3線のリフト乗り場にて登山届を提出している人が居りました。きっと3線TOPから歩いて登るのだろうなと推察。ならば昼前に上がればしっかりとしたトレースを利用させてもらえるであろう。うん。たまには先頭ではなく、他人の歩いた跡を歩いてみたい。学ぶこともあるであろうし。ヨシヨシ。ということでちょうどお昼に3線リフト乗車。さてここから伸びる尾根にはちょっとした思い入れがあるんです。この尾根筋を、11線リフトTOPまで刈ったのは何を隠そう僕なんです。2名の先輩と2週間ほどの行程で。随分と酷暑の夏でしたね。そこをブンブンとひたすらにチェーンソーを振り回す毎日に水は4リットルをきちんと消化・・。たしか初日はワクチンを打った次の日でしたかねぇ・・。まぁそんなことゆえ地形の隅々までを承知しておるわけです。毎日上り下りをしてましたからね。さて、そんな尾根にトレースは上手についておりました。おそらくは何度もいらしてる方なんでしょう。ありがたく使わせていただき40分程でひとまずのところに到達。良い運動になりました。さて今回選択した道具はATです。先日にセットアップしたVOLANTPower Karve188�pにATKテックバインディングの組み合わせ。まずは見た目から。金属に金属、これは文句なしに格好いい〜。惚れ惚れします。まぁ僕は未だテックには経験が浅く、使い勝手と信頼度からはやはり旧ディアミール、現スカウト11なわけなんですけどね。。とそんなでいざダウンヒル。いやぁ〜〜、期待以上に雪が素晴らしい〜。そしてなんたってVOLANTですよ。やっぱりゲレンデより山。走破性能が2段階ぐらい違います。この煽られない反発。独自ですよねー。大満足なダウンヒルでありました！さて3線上からは牧の入の林道を下まで忠実に。実は明日の朝は下から上がってこようと考えています。そのトレース付けですね。ラッセルしなくて済むように。明日は歩きを楽しむべく、75mmのテレマークですかねぇ・・。　2025年1月5日 In the morning, there was a person submitting a mountaineering report at the No.3 lift station. I guessed that he would probably start walking from the No.3 TOP. If that's the case, I'll be able to use the clear trail if I go up before noon. Yes. Sometimes I'd like to follow in someone else's footsteps, not be the first to do so. I might learn something from it. Good. So I got on the No.3 lift at noon. Now, I have a little memory of the ridge that stretches from here. It was actually me who cleared the underbrush along this ridgeline to the No.11 lift TOP. It took about two weeks with two seniors. It was a very hot summer. Every day I was swinging my chainsaw around, and I drank 4 liters of water. I think the first day was the day after I got the vaccine. Well, because of that, I knew every nook and cranny of the terrain. I was going up and down every day. Now, the trace of the people ahead of me were well on that ridge. He is probably a frequent visitor. I was grateful to be able to use it and reached the desired location in about 40 minutes. It was a good workout. The equipment I chose this time was AT. The combination of the VOLANT Power Karve 188cm that I set up the other day and the ATK Tech Binding. First of all, the appearance. Metal on metal, this is undoubtedly cool. I am in love with it. Well, I still have little experience with tech, and in terms of usability and reliability, I still go with the old Diamir and the current Scout 11. . And so, it's time for downhill. Wow, the snow is even better than I expected. And it's VOLANT after all. It's more like a mountain than a groomed slope. The off-piste performance is about two levels higher. This rebound that doesn't get too much. It's unique. It was a very satisfying downhill! From the No.3TOP, I followed the forest road of Makinoiri faithfully all the way down. Actually, I'm thinking of coming up from the bottom tomorrow morning. I'll leave a trace so I don't have to break through the deep snow. I'm thinking of using a 75mm telemark to enjoy the walk tomorrow. January 5, 2025
