Sunday, 17th, March

The second time, Sachi, my meetup co-organizer and I attempted to hike for Mount Karamats-dake on the day, but the weather had not permitted us, and we were hampered by the strong winds again.

7:30 am ticket Call was open at the Happo Gondola Station but there was an announcement for hikers, “It is hesitant about servicing the two lifts uphill of Happo- Ike due to strong winds.”

Given the weather forecast for the day, we couldn’t hope for the weather to recover based on the weather forecast, so we moved to plan B, which is Hakuba Iwatake Mountain Resort.
