Mt.Tokachidake (Mt.Tokachi) 86
Temperature: minus 11 degrees Celsius at the Tokachidake Hot Springs (Tokachidake Onsen).
The snow on the road was well compacted. During the climb, a car approached him calling his name in English. Its driver was the Australian skier he had met during the training Mt.Tokachidake 58. He talked with him for a while and resumed the climbing. He did the interval training at the summit. There, he met a group of Canadian skiers. He asked them why they came to ski here as Canada is one of the best countries for skiing. They answered because the quality of snow was better than Canada in this period of the year. After talking with them, he talked with a bus driver he had known for longtime. The descent was uneventful.
