The second day of recording for LOVE SKI HOKKAIDO, where Hokkaido's most famous skiers ski all over Hokkaido
To fully enjoy Sapporo, the two stayed at
GARDENSCABIN This business hotel was built in 2019. The large public bath is equipped with a Finnish-style sauna, making it extremely popular with young people and business people alike. The hotel offers the added benefit of private rooms at a reasonable price comparable to a capsule hotel, allowing guests to relax and unwind.
Sapporo has many business hotels, each offering comfortable services. One of Sapporo's charms is that you won't have any trouble finding a place to stay after skiing, even if they aren't directly operated by the ski resorts
Leaving the hotel, we headed to Sapporo Teine in the Teine district, which is popular among freeskiers that day
Unfortunately, there had not been enough snowfall by the time of the recording, and the famous North Wall slope, with a maximum gradient of 35 degrees, and the Women's Giant Slalom had not yet opened
So the two of them ski down the Olympia Zone. The slopes are a mix of steep and steep slopes, making it a great feeling to ski down. This is another attraction not to be missed
This is the view you get when you get off the Olympic Cauldron No. 1 lift. The city of Sapporo is familiar to me, but the combination of snow, city, and sea is always a spectacular sight.
After enjoying the view, it's time to go skiing.
Their favorite spots are the Olympic Cauldron Ocean Cruise and the Olympic Cauldron Ocean Stream. Although the courses are compact with varying slopes and complex terrain changes, they can become extremely difficult depending on how you ski
After enjoying carving at Sapporo Teine, we recorded a talk at the Salomon Experience Base.
This place is close to Sapporo Bankei Ski Resort and stocks a wide range of ski and trail running products. As it is directly managed by the manufacturer, you can get your hands on the latest gear and get information.
Later that night, we headed to Sapporo Bankei Ski Resort, which is about a 5-minute drive from there
Bankei's ski school is home to the Bankei Ski School, where Iyama is a member. When the two visit Iyama's home slope, they unexpectedly meet Susumu Ogura, Sasaki's coach from his junior and senior high school days. Akira Sasaki and his coach reminisce about their past
This concludes Day 2. On Day 3, we head back to Sapporo International. With the cold air moving in and snowfall from the night skiing at Sapporo Bankei, the slopes look to be in good condition for Day 3. This is the advantage of Sapporo, where you can choose where to ski depending on the conditions
Stay tuned for day 3!
The broadcast will start at 1:20am on January 30th on TV Hokkaido (broadcast only in Hokkaido region)
