Google Translated Description
The person in distress had been snowboarding at the Asahidake ski resort using the ropeway since around 9:00 am. During his third run at around midnight, he went off course due to thick fog and could not find his current location, so he called 110 at 4:44 p.m. and requested rescue. A Hokkaido Police helicopter found and rescued the distressed persons.
