Some Japanese skied Mt. Fuji which highest mountain in Japan last weekend.

Skiing from summit to half way the mountain on snow.

very popular hike and skiing Mt. Fuji in every May and June.

日本で最も高い山の富士山を、一部の日本人はスキーで行きました。
山頂から山が雪がある半分までのスキー。
5、6月に非常に人気のスキー富士登山。

Yoshida Osawa / north face 吉田大沢 北斜面

Top elevation / 3776m, 12388ft / red point

skied to half way of mountain / 2300m, 7545ft / blue point

there is Mt. Fuji 75 miles from Tokyo, drive to half way of mountain with two hours by a car.

and six hours hiking to top, one hour skiing, one more hour hike back to parking.

Kenjiro skied 8 min with non-stop couple of years ago himself.

we aren’t recommend ski with non-stop. it’s too much hard.

最高点/3776m、12388フィート/赤点
山の半分までスキーをしました/2300m / 7545フィート/ブルーポイント)
富士山が、東京から120キロあります。車で2時間、山の半分へドライブ
そして6時間のハイキング、トップから1時間のスキー、駐車へのもう1時間のハイキング。
ケンジロウは、彼自身で数年前、直行運転で8分スキーをしました。
我々は直行運転によるスキーを推奨しません。それはあまりに非常に難しいです。

Yoshida Osawa is one slope. Hard to stop if you slide or slip down. you must know how to emergency stop.

It’s about 30-40 degrees slope. very icy and hard pack if there is wind or clouds.

ヨシダ・オオサワは、1つの斜面です。 あなたがすべるか、すべり落ちるならば、止まるのが難しいです。あなたは、非常停止の方法を知っていなければなりません。
それは、およそ30-40度斜面です。風または雲があるならば、非常に冷たく固い地面。

    Kenjiro seems to have a better grasp on the English language than Miles.

      Mt. Fuji is still kind of active volcano, however last activity was 300 years ago.
      be safe.

    I skied Fuji in 1976 with a small group of Japanese skiers. We kicked steps up thought the packed snow for about three hours to get to the top. The first person in line would kick the steps until they were tired, then the next person would kick… We all took turns. At the top we rested and had rice balls and water. Then down!!! WOW!! NO moguls, corn snow, clear visibility, and terminal velocity in turns that were over 100 meters wide. The run down was so quick that three of us climbed the steps in the snow and made a second run… Thanks Fuji for allowing an American skier to enjoy your beauty.

    PS The first volcano I skied was Mt Hood in the US. Fuji was the second. The third was Terminas de Chilian, in Chile. This last one is still active!!!
