SNOW DIGGIN' WORLD CUP!

Snow Digging World Cup was held in Hijiori Onsen on Feb 27 (Sun). It was sooooo much FUN!!


We organized a tour, and from our tour, two teams have participated. "Team Yamagata Caravan" and "Team International" We wanted to recruit foreign participants to make it a real "World Cup", we had some inquiries but at the end, KC from NEPAL decided to participated! Dannyabad KC!


There were 14 teams. Some came from Hokkaido and Sendai!



The height of the snow was about 2.7m. On the snow filed, there are 14 red circles for 14 teams. We had a sleigh competition first,  and the winner got to choose the spot. 



Snow Digging Rule is very simple. Just dig the snow with shovels and what we call here "snow dump", until you hit the earth. If you reach the earth, take the piece of earth to the goal 


It might sound like a simple game but it was extremely hard and extremely exciting!!



We started digging digging, and the after a few minutes, the local young people's team already started running towards the goal! "What!?" "Already!?" At that point, our snow hole was only 1m deep. 


One after another, we could hear the scream of joy and we started feeling pressure. We don't wanna be the last one!!

Finally, our shovel hit the earth!!! We all ran together to the goal!!!! Yeah!!!! Wow, I had never felt like that since my Jr.high school sport event. 



It turned out that it took us 29minutes to finish. It took the last team 45 minutes to reach the earth! The first team,,, only 6 minutes. They are amazing!!


Next year, we hope to have even more participants from all over the world!!ちょうおもしろいよ!
