<A short message>
I was born in Yuzawa and grew up surrounded by snow and ski resorts since I was little.
When I was a student, I devoted myself to alpine skiing, but
now I try snowboarding while skiing on soft powder and enjoying backcountry.
In the summer, I try SUP and camping, and I enjoy it in various ways.
We will tell you useful information about skis, boards, and ski resorts.
