Utility / Hostility
Approaching the top station of the Zao ski resort at an altitude of 1650m, where the ropeway towers themselves turn into beautiful ice sculptures, just as the Juhyo, the snow/frost covered “snow monster” trees Mt. Zao is also famous for. A truly incredible ride in thick mist and an eerie silence, bar the howling and, as verified soon after, frozen wind, one of the harshest environments my camera, my fingers and what is luckily still attached to them have ever been into!
