Although the flag setting is a little looser than the day before, the Mitsumata Ups'n'Downs Terrain Park course produced by Daizo Fukushima is still difficult.

Today's weather is snowy and it is difficult to see the snow surface.

Who will be the winning rider in a situation where the weather and conditions are different from yesterday!?!?!?

First of all, start from boys with many rounds.

Shinya Momono, the champion of the previous day wearing a red bib in the 1st heat, entered the course, and started with Roe-Karl pros Yuki Motoki and Kohei Motoki at a good tempo.

For girls, the previous year's Snowboard Cross Champion Kanae Maeda started.

And today is the professional eelgrass open game, so top eelgrass will start one after another.

First of all, from the girls, Kanae Maeda, Terumi Kawai, and Yuka Nakamura won well, and in the final frame, Aoi Sakamoto, who was in her second year as a professional, advanced to the final for the first time.

Shinya Momono, Yuki Motoki, and Kohei Motoki advanced to the men's final, and like the girls, they became rookie Yashiro Yuto as a newcomer in the last frame.

The Mitsumata Ups'n'Downs Opening Kagura Cross Challenge, which is the third year of this year, also left only the final, and the women's final started in the gas-mixed condition.

Yuka Nakamura and Kanae Maeda appear in front of the race just past the corridor from the melee pattern.And the two are pulling apart from each other.Nakamura still leads up to the GS section in the second half.However, Maeda, who slipped in the final section of the finish area and got on the speed, finished by a small margin !!!

In the second round of the women's race, Kanae Maeda, who showed the will and dignity of the tour champion, won and became the most exciting race.

In the first half of the men's final, Yuto Yashiro was separated and Momono suddenly escaped from the dumpling state.Then, at the point where it approaches a steep slope, the trailer is further separated and it is in a state of running alone.Yuki Motoki and Kohei Motoki chased hard but did not reach, and the curtain was closed with two consecutive victories in Momono.
