Backcountry – tag –

Backcountry refers to leaving the developed areas such as ski resorts and enjoying skiing and snowboarding on the natural snowy mountains. It is popular among enthusiasts for its appeal of climbing mountains on your own and skiing on fresh snow and steep slopes that no one else has skied before. However, there are risks such as avalanches, slides, weather changes, and getting lost. To enjoy it safely, knowledge and skills such as map reading, avalanche countermeasures, and self-rescue are essential. Beginners are recommended to take a guided tour and remember that any accidents are at your own risk.
