  1. MP they worked for a large company up there and they said no one was skiing. Maybe you were but their company wasnt!
  2. No one has been able to increase the domestic market! The Domestic market is in decline for more many reasons. Skiers/Riders from Tokyo and Osaka know that there is good snow just a 2 to 4 hours drive away. It will be hard to get them to fly to Hokkaido for the weekend. The domestic market realistically only skis weekends! Thus Hokkaido's real domestic market is on the island itself. By selling out your accommodation 4 months before the season starts really does not help to build a domestic market. This is great for the lodges for sure but it doesn't help once the lodges aren't full like now
  3. GN are you still skiing cause you sound grumpy! Had some girls down from your way and they were shocked that we were still skiing! They said all the locals stopped skiing in Feb cause of the lack of fresh snow. That would make me grumpy! Grab a backpack and head up something high and enjoy some elevation. You might just find a bit of Fresh as well! I fall into the 50 degree segment but 40 degrees is a more realistic number.
  4. I could hardly hear a thing on the phone plus I was sleeping in my room. yamashiro goes under the knife on the 17th of May. He figures 8 to 10 months of recovery.
  5. I looked at that line kuma but its dead for the season
  6. If the foreign investors decide to sell then things could go south in a big hurry. The number of Japanese that would swoop into the market is very small. That said the economies of China/HK/and Auz are still pretty strong so this shouldn't be a big problem. Also as most investors seem to have paid with out right cash rather than hedging and taking loans, there would seem to be a less likely chance of panic selling. (You can slap me if I'm talking out my arse)
  7. Thus you wont really get the regular Japanese population to invest in apartments at ski resorts.
  8. Thx I can only ski the next 2 sundays anyways, freaking meetings that mean nothing!
  9. Not as close as I thought before but it ran down the whole line right to the bottom of garagara. Dan only got half of the avalanche on video. Someone please imbed this Im at a loss right now.
  10. Tsu before we do another tour we have to sit down and talk.
  11. We arent doing one footed jumps! Happo is hanging in there actually and the BC is still quite good. Havent had to move to tsugaike yet.
  12. Ill ride the regular bro then compare for you cb. We need to put together a firm order list stunts.
