Google Translated Description
The person in distress entered the mountain from Kitami Pass around 7:30 a.m., skied around the 5th station of Chitokaniushiyama around 3:00 p.m., and tried to climb back up the slope, but the adhesive surface of the ski seals froze and became unusable, making it impossible to climb the slope. The person in distress was rescued by the Hokkaido Police Mountain Rescue Team.
