Travel and Terrain Advice
Climbers and skiers alike should be on the lookout for slip dorps on icy slopes in the morning. During the day, be on the lookout for avalanches of wet snow on sunny slopes. Wet snow is very heavy and can easily trap your feet. If there are "terrain traps" lower down the slope, the consequences can be severe. At lower elevations, the snow has melted to the point where it is difficult to ski. Be smart about the terrain in elevation zones where there is sufficient snow cover. If you choose the right elevation, direction, and time of day, you can enjoy comfortable granular snow skiing. Glide avalanche danger continues and cracks have been reported at higher elevations. Keep a good distance from such slopes. Have a good day.

概要
Avalanche
No new avalanches were reported yesterday (March 29).
Snowpack
The "spring cycle" continues, with the snow surface melting during the day due to high temperatures and strong solar radiation, and then freezing at night. The entire snowpack is also isothermalizing, with the middle to lower layers shifting to higher intensity. Snow is melting at lower elevations.
Weather
The Japan Meteorological Agency is forecasting winds out of the south, north winds during the day, clear skies, and a maximum temperature of 16°C (13 m above sea level) for the Joetsu region of Niigata Prefecture. At Myoko Sasagamine (elevation 1,310 m), the temperature is -2° (as of 5:45 a.m.).
