Then please continue to name all many other resorts that are investing in infrastructure upgrades and improvements to facilities and accommodation.
Do you have 12 fingers on one hand?
It's a waste of time trying to say something that you don't agree with Go Native, as has been seen countless times on here before.
You can take that as you 'winning' if you like.
-
No, I don't agree at all.
Unless you have an extremely abnormal hand.

Wow, you sound like a real expert, Man_In_Japan.... what is it you do again, teach English?
What on earth do you know about the ski industry in Japan 1?
What on earth does it matter?
(To quote Man in Japan)
So your knowledge of the ski industry is irrelevant to this conversation then?
Riiiiiiight....
Which way do you want it?
You were the one that said it was irrelevant.

Year upon year, resorts have been closing across Japan, not just in Hokkaido. The only major development I can think of that was worthy of news in Hokkaido, is the Hokkaido Shinkansen, but that has been years in development. Heck, they have even said they would allow 20 years for the development of the line to Sapporo.
This is just off the top of my head, it is not supposed to be any kind of definitive list.
The Mt Kosha resorts
Ryuoo Ski Park / Kawaba
The changes in Hakuba and related 日本スキー場開発
J Mountains Group
There have been plenty of things going on.
You just don't know about them. Doesn't mean things are not happening.

What my profession has to do with this is irrelevant.

So in recent years the bulk of investment in ski resorts in Japan I'd say has come from foreign investors
Well, I'd say you are wrong.
There have been plenty of changes at Japanese ski resorts in recent years.
You just don't know this because you (think you) know everything that there to know about Niseko, apparently think that applies to all of Japan and obviously know very little about anywhere outside of that area.
All dressed up in carefully constucted and impressive sounding sentences.

Can't read? Larger letters may help:
Japanese are not capable of any kind of development?
-
Well, you know the Japanese weren't going to be doing any kind of development.
So it's a race thing is it?

White World Oze?

Well, my income ain't going up so the cash I have to spend is pretty restricted.
So if prices go up I'll have no choice really but to cut back on frequency. Which would suck.

Winter like ads turning up on tv. Yay

Somehow it reminds me of the look of the towns that got swept away in March 2011.

Looks like an iPad "mini" is imminent.

What does the wife think!?

Never had that one.
The big downside of cheese is often the smell.

I always liked this scene
-
That person putting their finger in it is doing it all wrong, surely?!
-
As the old saying goes..... repeat after me..... every case is different!
-
Must be bloody great being in a popular rock band.
-
-
All the more reason not to put people off with the whiff of cheese I reckon.
-
Ii desu ne.

Can't see the appeal myself but my brother used to brew some beer.
Seemed a ton of hassle.
Smells were good though.

Damn, it's as if people are taking one bit of information that helps illustrate the point they are pushing while conveniently ignoring the other bits of the story!!
