Subaru’s Gelandale Taxi Event Returns to Japan with Vintage Wagons

Last month, Subaru of Japan offered skiers a more fun way to get to the top of the hill than the usual chair lift. Over four days at the Naeba resort, situated a couple of hours by car or transit northeast of Tokyo, snowsports enthusiasts could hop in a Subaru Crosstrek Hybrid and have a pro driver slew it through the snow on the way up. Subaru calls this event the Gelande Taxi, and it’s the first time it has been held since before the pandemic in 2019.
