It is thought that various factors overlapped in the accident that happened, but I heard and felt that the backcountry (BC) itself, which skis and snowboards off the ski slopes on non-ski slopes. The gaze that was given.
As in this article, the word backcountry is bracketed with "" and "".It may not have a deep intention, but from a different point of view, only that word stands out.
This is supposed to be based on memories of accidents in backcountry skiing and snowboarding, which have been a problem for a while, but in the first place distress itself is a problem, and the mountain of backcountry The way of enjoying itself should not be evil.
The situation where some people frown when they hear backcountry is a shame as a lover. I feel that there is a need to deepen the awareness of not only those involved, but also each person who enjoys it, in order to improve some of the problems and the environment surrounding backcountry.
