The snow is shallow and fast, remain in control and beware of hitting trees.
80cm thick slides from Jan 10th layer are still to be considered in knolls and steep slopes. Always keep the risk of avalanches in mind and avoid stopping in the middle of a slope or at the bottom of a gully.
Gates 2 (Annupuri), 4 (Fujiwara) and 6 (Moiwa) will open when ready, however peak hike will be restricted for another while. Please respect the ski patrol’s instructions.

The snow is in very good condition.
The wind at the coast remained below 12m/s and waves below 2m.
The wind is forecasted to pick up by noon, beware of sudden weather changes.
Keep in mind that outside the gates is uncontrolled and unsupervised backcountry area.
