A backcountry skier in Hokkaido, Japan, discovered the challenges of navigating riverbeds, a terrain notorious for its difficulty. The region is known for its fragile snow bridges and hidden holes, especially in Japan, where geothermal activity warms the water. This activity creates soft spots in the snow, posing a risk of skiers falling in.
