Ski mountaineering. It was a long way. The starting base point is 600m and the target was Nise-maki 1861m. It took about 4.5 hours. But we could not reach the top, just below 50m to the top. The weather changed to heavy wind and cold and foggy. The ski run was icy on the top and wet deep snow at the bottom.
