Google Translated Description
The person in distress had planned to snowshoe from the Asahidake Sugatami station and climb from Asahidake to Chubetsu via the Hakuun-dake refuge hut and back, but did not descend until after the scheduled descent date. However, when the victim did not descend the mountain even though it was over 2 days before the scheduled descent, the Hokkaido Police Mountain Disaster Rescue Team searched for the victim at the request of the family, and found only the tent of the victim in distress in the vicinity of Hakuun-dake on February 3, the same year. Asahidake on July 12, 2008, near the 7th station of Mt. Jigokudani near the upper part of Jigokudani, the person in distress was identified as the person in distress.

About Filters

REGION: The general mountain/geographical region the route is in.

BEST MONTH(S): Time of year a route is suited to visiting. Some pop all season, some are more limited.

DIFFICULTY: How strenuous a route is, and how technical it is. Full details here.

FREERIDE/SKITOUR: Very subjective, but is a route more-of-a-walk-than-a-ski or the other way around? Some routes are all about the screaming downhill (freeride), some are more about the hunt for a peak or nice forest (ski-tour). Some are in between. 

MAIN ASPECT: Which cardinal direction the primary consequential slope is facing, that you might encounter on the route. More details here.

ROUTE TAGS: An eclectic picking of other categories that routes might belong to.

SEARCH BY LOCATION: You can find routes near your current location – just click on the crosshairs (). You may need to give permission to HokkaidoWilds.org to know your GPS location (don’t worry, we won’t track you). Or, type in a destination, such as Niseko or Sapporo or Asahikawa etc.
