This is the 3th dream terrain event DREAM SESSION held at Hakuba Norikura Onsen Ski & Snowboarding Ground for 17 days from Saturday, March 19th to Monday, March 3th.What kind of terrain was completed this time produced by Goro Komatsu?I will tell you what I felt at the event with photos.
Dream theme park with 3 courses
The terrain study group, Goro Komatsu, prepared a ridiculously interesting terrain again.
This year, the first heavy equipment (power shovel) in the history of the event will be two units, and it seems that the terrain creation will be powered up.Moreover, the added one seems to be used for the creation of the snow skating & snowboard area.What kind of terrain course will be completed before the event?The terrain enthusiasts from all over the country were making noise on SNS.
When you actually arrive at the site, you can call it a terrain theme park, where you can find unique terrain courses such as snowboarding, snow skating (snowboarding), and snowboarding (snow toys).The scale of the dream field was completed, which was finished in a class where each could hold an event by itself.
Safe and cohesive session
The snowboard course is on the far side, and as usual, there is a compact section with the main points.Since it is turned by hike without using a lift, it has a layout with a sense of unity and a live feeling.
According to Goro Komatsu, a terrain study group, "We adjusted the layout to be tighter than before without increasing the distance from the start position to the end so that anyone can reach the end bowl without killing speed."
In other words, it is designed so that anyone, regardless of level, can ride at sufficient speed and pick up the terrain to the end.Some lines go around from the bank on the left, cross the spine that rises in the center, and head toward the end bowl, while others use R for fashion such as laybacks, slashes, and turns with that spine.In addition, there is also a style that speeds up from the start and blows off with that spine, so I want to finish it as an interesting course where various lines can be selected depending on the level of the participants.
In addition, there is a tunnel leading to the outside of the course in the center of the end bowl, and the safety design that allows those who have finished riding to finish through this tunnel at the end is also wonderful.
Spring snowboarding and horizontal Norifes beyond the realm of snowboarding sessions
There will be hot sessions in the morning from the opening of the course at 10:45, but the good part of this event is that there is a lunch break from 12:30.It's time to repair the terrain well in preparation for the afternoon session, but at the food corner inside the venue, you can enjoy delicious food and drink slowly with your friends and family.I also value the time to take a good rest and communicate with my colleagues.
Brand booths, DJs, and food corners are lined up at the venue so as to surround each terrain course with snowboards, snowboards, and snowboards, and each participant creates a space around which they can spend a picnic.Some people set up petit tents and spend their time slowly, and beyond the area of snowboarding sessions, there was a feeling of spring snow and horizontal norifes.
The afternoon session will start with "Kids & Ladies Only Session Time".This idea helped to create a peaceful event atmosphere rather than a rugged snowboarding session.
Changes in the participating user base
Popular snow skating & snow board
To express this DREAM SESSION in one word, "everything is just right".The size of the section, the cohesiveness of the venue, and the atmosphere of the event are all well-balanced, and the space where all the snowboarders (like horizontal glue) who gathered here can enjoy smiling is expanding.
And the most impressive thing was that there was a change in the participating user base.I participated in this event for the first and second times, and I couldn't go for the third time, but I got the impression that the atmosphere of the event changed significantly in that year.Not only terrain enthusiasts, but also a wide range of snowboarders from freestyle freaks to kids and families seek the atmosphere of this terrain and events, and not only snowboarding but also snowboarding and snowboarding. I was exhausted.
In the morning, snowboard comfortably on the natural terrain of the Hakuba Norikura slope and Pistenburn while looking at the mountains of the Northern Alps unique to Hakuba.With that flow, a session while jumping into interesting terrain and searching for your favorite line.After a break, in the afternoon I changed from snowboard boots to snow boots and tried snowboarding and snowboarding.And, this flow is free to the last, but DREAM SESSION can be enjoyed more by playing all three courses with each play tool.From snowboarding to snowboarding to snowboarding, the terrain size and characteristics change and the difficulty increases.Freefoot is difficult because there are no bindings, but you can enjoy a feeling of openness.Besides, trying new things is fresh and interesting.
If the event continues as it is, what kind of theme park will be born in 5 or XNUMX years?Perhaps the evolution will not stop, and more people will visit and it will be a big winter sideways event.Anyway, it was a really funny dream session.
