Google Translated Description
The victim entered the mountain at around 11:30am and descended from the summit on a snowboard, but got lost on the way and descended too far down the valley to be able to return to the trailhead, so they called 119 for help (they descended on their own, using the lights at Danpara Ski Resort as a landmark)
