Skiing Retrospective 24-25 (1): Fujiten Snow Resort (01/24)

glustar

As we slowly head toward the end of the year and Yeti has long been open, I thought I would take a relaxed look back at last year's ski trips.

Looking at the 24-25 season as a whole, it was a year with plenty of snow, and I have the impression that most ski resorts were quite busy. On the other hand, Fujiten Snow Resort, where I went for my own season opener, had little snow, and it felt like they were working hard with snowmaking machines.

Even looking at the nearby trees and the distant view, there is overwhelmingly little snow.

It is an area that doesn't get a lot of snowfall to begin with, and I have the image that they basically operate while running snowmaking machines hard even during the high season, but the timing of my visit (2025/01/24) was a landscape reminiscent of spring skiing.

It is obvious under the lifts where they aren't using snow machines.
Although it remains in the shade.

Even so, it is close to Yokohama, and despite not being that large, it has a variety of courses (and a well-equipped park), so it is one of my favorite ski resorts. The flip side of having little snowfall is that it has a high rate of clear weather, and if it is properly sunny, you can see Mt. Fuji well, and I think it is a pleasant ski resort to ski at.

If it is sunny, you can see it well from the lift ticket counter too.
It is quite close from the lift where you can see it best.

The snow quality is artificial, but perhaps because it is well-maintained, it is as easy to ski on as ever. But since it is the season opener, I will ski loosely overall while taking pictures.

The famous? Mt. Fuji curry is also delicious.

On this trip, I brought the Lib Tech UFO95 that I had bought for the winter. I had been riding Faction quite a bit, so it was a fresh feeling, but perhaps because the waist width is narrow, it is easy to maneuver, and this is fun in its own way. Conversely, I think it would sink in powder or situations where it is snowing heavily, so it might have been just right for the snow surface on a day like this.

I skied moderately and withdrew moderately.


Since I have to drive back, it is better to withdraw without pushing myself when I get tired to avoid injuries and accidents.

On the way back, I took a bath at 'Fujitenbo no Yu Yurari' along the way before heading home. I want to go at least once this season, and I hope it snows properly at Fujiten too.
