This is the 3rd year of a trip to follow the Mt. Hakkoda ski tour when there was no ropeway. .

Text = Hitoshi Ishibashi Photo = Takahiro Nakanishi
I decided to walk along the sunny spring ridgeline with my 50-year-old local skating friends. One day in mid-March, there was nothing to see, no main peak to aim for, and no main slope, but I decided to try walking. The usual members who live in Minamifurano and Shimukappu gathered. So, what is "GOT"? That's what I'm looking forward to after reading the text.
