To support the people who have been suffered by the earthquake and tsunami that hit Tohoku and eastern coastal areas of Japan, a Niseko Charity Event was held on March 27 in Grand Hirafu ski resort.
37 of professional skiers and snowboarders and 123 of their fans who sympathize with the goal of the event gathered at Niseko Grand Hirafu.
I participated in this event as a skier, then I got pictures here mostly of skiers. Sorry for all the snowboarders who were the majority yesterday!
This event originated from a Niseko local person, and his high aim moved people’s mind and lead this event to a successful conclusion.
