Lost Arrow, whose mission is to connect people who love sports in the great outdoors, such as mountaineering, climbing, and mountain skiing, with excellent equipment, will be officially importing carefully selected gear from numerous brands in the United States and Europe, which are advanced countries in mountaineering, and will be holding a ``Backcountry Gear Experience Event'' again this year
This time, two programs are available: "Backcountry Ski Gear Experience" and "Snow Safety Gear Experience."
The "Backcountry Ski Gear Experience Session"includes a hike up the side of the groomed slopes, allowing participants to test not only the skiing performance but also the walking performance of boots, bindings (AT/Telemark), and climbing skins. A practical hiking lesson by professional skier Ken Fujikawa will also be held.
The "Snow Safety Gear Experience"allows participants to try out avalanche beacons and airbags through a search and rescue simulation. It also includes beginner-friendly lessons for both skiers and snowboarders.
This is a rare opportunity to try out gear that is hard to get to try at regular test rides, with training included, and no participation fee. We encourage everyone to participate and raise their safety awareness so they can enjoy riding safely throughout the season
