■Thoughts from the organizing committee (from staff)
The impact of COVID-19 has hit the winter industry hard over the past two seasons. Ski resorts, accommodation facilities, ski and snowboard related product sales and rental businesses, transportation companies, travel agencies, advertising and promotion industries, and more are in dire straits. Amidst this, a group of volunteers decided to hold an event that would somehow liven up the winter season, and so Yukigoshi CAMP was launched
Yukigoshi CAMP is a camping festival event for skiers and snowboarders looking forward to the winter season. The event will include sales of skis, snowboards, clothing, goggles, gloves, and other snow gear, as well as ski lift tickets, rider talk shows, workshops, live music, performances by local Minamiuonuma groups, and delicious local food. Both exhibitors and customers can enjoy themselves while camping, praying for a good season and lots of good snowfall. This is the kind of event it is
Last time, we had 500 visitors despite the short notice period. We hope that this event will motivate everyone who loves snowy mountains to ski, lead to the discovery of Minamiuonuma City's charm, and serve as a catalyst for revitalizing the winter industry. We look forward to seeing many of you there!
