2013 Tateyama Report By Daisuke Mizuma

Most of the ski resorts are closing in April
On the contrary, I think Tateyama is one of the places that attracts attention as a season-in.
What is not surprisingly known is the name Tateyama, which is located in the Tateyama mountain range in the northern part of the Hida Mountains.
It is a general term for the three peaks of Mt. Oyama, Mt.
And it is a mountain with few glaciers in Japan.

Daisuke Mizuma, one of the people who knows the site of Tateyama well, was a half-pipe professional before.
Currently fascinated by BC, a rider who is active in the genre of free riding based on Tateyama.He has been riding a lot in Tateyama this year as well, and we will send you a report on Tateyama for the 2013 season, with the magnificent scenery of Tateyama and the riding scenery.

Have SBN pick up Tateyama.That is also through my activities.
Since such a thankful story came in, I would like to introduce the state of Tateyama this time.

Speaking of Tateyama, it opens around the 4th of April every year, and at the same time as OPEN, many snow bums who say "I'm still not slippery!" Gather together.After that, I have a chance to hit the powder for about a month, and I wonder if the condition that can be said to be "fun!" Is until the first or second week of June.

After that, the white world gradually came to an end as the snow melted, and in July, August, and September, the summer mountain climbing season came.In the following September and October, the sprouting autumn leaves color the mountains, and from the end of October to the beginning of November, the first snow marks the beginning of a new season.

Tateyama transforms into the world of silver again, and for about a month from there, soft powder continues to fall as the low pressure moves.And November 11th.With the closing of the Alpine Route, I fell asleep for half a year.

The above is the flow of the year in Tateyama.

By the way, Tateyama this season has had many bad weather since OPEN, and it has been snowing anyway.
Until about the first week of May, I thought, "Isn't it midwinter !?"
However, thanks to that, the highest fresh powder was waiting for the pecans that came after it fell!There is a condition here that makes you want to doubt that you are in Japan.

I also took pictures while staying in a tent for two weeks after the opening of the entire line.Of those, only 2 days were in good condition ... (tears)
If you listen to this much, you will get a negative image.But it's not all bad.
As I mentioned earlier, the stormy weather will surely bring a good day later.
It was in excellent condition for the three days I had been waiting for.
No wind, fine weather, powder above the knee!I was able to shoot under the condition that there was no more "THE DAY !!!".

The eastern attack of Okudainichidake was the highlight of this shooting period.It was exactly "Tateya Magic".

 

Tateyama is so difficult to read the condition.
Sometimes it's good and sometimes it's bad.
It will be difficult to meet the best conditions on a day trip or a one-day stay.
But ... at unexpected moments and timings, you may encounter miracle situations and wonderful scenery that you have never seen.I call it familiarly like this.

"Tateya Magic"

For example, when approaching from Tateyama Station or Ogisawa Station, gas, strong winds, etc. hesitate to go up.
Suppose it was in bat condition.Still, I believed it and tried to go up.
Then, the clouds break over time, and a splendid sea of ​​clouds spreads out.The lower world is bad weather.
The Tateyama area is super clear.This is the so-called "tateya magic" phenomenon.
It suddenly visits only those who believe in it, and those who experience it are so impressed that their outlook on life changes.Maybe.

Light, shadows, clouds, wind direction ... There is a scenery in Tateyama that you can only meet at that moment.

 

In summary, "Tateyama" is a mountain with a non-standard appeal that is as good as overseas.
It has the longest season in Japan, and from November it will sprinkle a big spray, giving you various experiences such as a big face, a long trail, and staying in a tent in a harsh natural environment (laughs).
It's all a blessing of nature, a blessing of a rich natural environment. .. ..
