Google Translated Description
The two victims had visited Furano Ski Resort, and when they took the Kitanomine Gondola to the top of the mountain to ski, they found ski tracks in the opposite direction of the ski resort course, mistakenly believing that the same direction was the ski resort course, and went outside the ski resort controlled area. After that, he was unable to return to the course, so he contacted his family on line at around 3:30 p.m. on the same day. Ski patrol found and rescued the two missing persons.
