INDEX

A free magazine has been launched that brings together the various charms of skiing in one volume.

Cast Co., Ltd. will distribute the free magazine "SKI CLUB" Vol. 01 2022 (80 pages/free) at outdoor/camping/ski/select shops/ski resorts/accommodation facilities, etc. nationwide from Thursday, January 13th.

Welcome to SKI CLUB! Skiing is fun and cool. That's all SKI CLUB wants to convey. Did you know that the quality of the snow that falls in Japan is the best in the world, even when looking around the globe? It would be a shame not to enjoy that snow. Snowboarding culture is great, and sledding and snowshoeing are fun, but SKI CLUB wants to convey the appeal of skiing. The world of skiing is incredibly deep. But don't worry, the entrance to this world is open to anyone. Let's start with bogen this winter. Let me say it again: skiing is incredibly fun and cool.
