Find people to ride with at Gassan

Gassan is a sacred mountain in Yamagata that gets so much snow it can't open in midwinter. Instead, its season starts in spring and runs into summer, with lifts and plenty of hiking for backcountry runs. It's a unique trip for riders who want to keep going after other resorts close.
