It was minus 17 degrees Celsius at the Mt.Tokachidake Hot Springs where the altitude is 1280m.
Dr.K and K participated in this training.
We are in spring.
But a cold wave which is rare in this season hit Hokkaido.
The road wasn't snow removed because snowplows weren't prepared for this strong snowfall out of season.
So road was covered with deep fresh snow.
We both gave up reaching the summit due to deep snow.
It was the first time we coudn't reach the summit during the training at the Mt.Tokachi.
Travelled distance: 21km (in case of K)
Dr.K abandoned the training at the altitude of 700m.
