Female・Japan・Solo trip

Great

It was a quick trip 💦

Despite the bad weather, I was able to enjoy skiing on the vast slopes, and even on fresh snow, for the first time in a while ☺️

Date of visit March 2024

Great

Some of the slopes are too gentle

When I went, the fog at the summit was too thick. It was hard to see whether it was safe to try, which made me feel uneasy.
