Google Translated Description
The two victims entered the mountain from Kirolo Snow World at around 10:30 a.m. on skis, aiming for Mt. Yoichi. They gave up climbing due to bad weather and turned back, but snowfall and thick fog made it difficult to find their way down the mountain, and at around 2:10 p.m. they called 110 for help. The Hokkaido Police Mountain Rescue Team rescued the distressed persons.
