★What is a snowshoe experience?★ It is an experience of walking on snow wearing "Western snowshoes" that allow you to easily walk on deep snow that is difficult to walk on with shoes. By spreading the surface area of the sole of your foot, your weight is distributed and you are less likely to sink into the snow, making it easier to walk around. When you hear "snowshoeing," many people think of mountain climbing, but our experience is a snowshoeing experience that takes you a little way from the slopes into nature! Even those who are not physically fit can enjoy it ♪ Depending on the snow conditions, you can sled down the slopes! Run through the snow fields! Jump into the snow! Why not leave the slopes and enter nature to try snowshoeing?
