Spring arrives at Mt. Gassan; snow removal begins; ski resort opens on April 11th

A small spring has arrived in the heavy snow area. Snow removal work has begun on the prefectural road, Gassan Shizu Line, which has been closed since November last year. [Announcer Takasaka Runa] "A large amount of snow on the road is being removed and piled up into a snow wall with great force. And because the wind is blowing, the snow hits you even from a distance." The Gassan Shizu Line stretches 5.4 kilometers from the hot spring town at the foot of the mountain to the Gassan Ski Resort. Snow removal work began on March 10th in preparation for the opening of the Gassan Ski Resort. The Shizu area of ​​Nishikawa Town, known as the area with the most hidden snowfall in Japan, had 474 centimeters of snow as of yesterday, the highest in the past 10 years. And as the snow removal progresses, the "snow corridor" appears. [Announcer Takasaka] "It's very impressive. I wonder how high the snow wall will be this year." Due to the heavy snowfall this year, the highest point is about 11 meters, about 5 meters higher than last year. [Nakajima Koji] "The work is not progressing well due to the heavy snowfall. In normal years, the entire 5.4 km length is about completed, but this year, only two-thirds of the work has been completed." "I don't think you'll ever experience such a high snow wall, so I hope you'll enjoy it when the Gassan Ski Resort opens." The Gassan Shizu Line is scheduled to open on April 10, and the Gassan Ski Resort is scheduled to open on April 11. [Yamagata TV News] https://www.yts.co.jp/news/
