Information about the second offline event of 2025!
Last time, we held an introductory tour to snowy mountains, mainly snow cave digging and snowshoe hiking tours, but this time we will be holding an introductory tour to snowy mountains at the end of March, when the weather is relatively stable, and we will be climbing the mountains in spring when there is still snow left!
You can go mountain climbing or hiking solo, but you find it difficult to gain experience in snowy mountain activities on your own, and you also find it difficult to go on a guided tour, which can be expensive
This time too, the plan is perfect for those who want to gain experience in the snowy mountains
