I was intrigued + amazed + happy to see how strong the snow barriers are.

Day 15 was

There is a tunnel on Highway 17 just north of Lodge Montoze, through which I can not safely walk because though there are no sidewalks.
One of my skiing friends said there will likely be very few skiers by this date, so I can likely use the ski slopes to the west of the tunnel, possibly using Tashiro Ropeway.

I prefer walking if possible, but we shall see exactly what is possible!

Update 30 April 2021: Owner of Montoze Lodge said there is no reasonable way to go around the mountain. Must go through the tunnel. Be careful or he will give us a ride.

We were careful and had a great time finding a whole magical world.
