穏やかな朝から午後は稜線に強風

Kamui Ski Links starts this morning under clear skies, with the summit at 11.6 degrees Celsius, offering a mild beginning. Temperatures are expected to rise significantly, reaching 19 degrees by noon. The ground is mostly dry with no snow, though some shaded or damp areas might be slightly wet. It is a good day for light hiking.

However, winds will pick up considerably in the afternoon. Gusts exceeding 12 meters per second are forecast for the summit between 12:00 and 15:00. The characteristic "strong winds on the summit ridge" at Kamui can drastically lower the perceived temperature and make movement difficult. This will particularly affect the upper sections of all 25 courses, including the starting point of the longest 4km run. Avoid unnecessary exposure during these hours.

As the automated risk assessment indicates, a sharp temperature drop of nearly 9 degrees is expected from afternoon to night. Be prepared for this rapid change from warm daytime conditions. Carry an extra insulating layer, such as a fleece and a windproof shell, from the start. Make early decisions to turn back if conditions deteriorate.

Thunderstorm risk is low. Crampons or microspikes are not necessary, but a lightweight shell jacket is essential for wind and cold protection. Despite its lower elevation, Kamui's weather can change quickly, demanding careful planning and cautious action.
