Cost of Living in Niseko
SKI replied to stevenmulcahy123's topic in Snow talk, trip reports, Japan avalanche & backcountry
A fair number of the 'bigger resort', lets say in the top 100 size-wise, nay top 50, are not interested in the mendo involved in actively appealing to the international market. -

I was not talking about Niseko. Or Hakuba. Or Nozawa. I'm talking about most of the other hundreds of places in Japan. -

Do remember though, good folks.... You aren't allowed to say anything in the least bit negative - otherwise you'll get caught out for being hateful and vitriolic. And amaze people with the extremity of your naughty comments. But, you are allowed to go over the top in the other direction. That's encouraged. I wonder why. Go figure. As for those Awards, they're a joke but yeah of course you can't blame a business for using it - but I don't think anyone suggested otherwise. -

Seems like china wants to up the talk China has tried to establish its authority over Japanese-controlled islands in the East China sea by demanding that all aircraft flying in the region obey its rules or face "emergency defensive measures".

What a ridiculous comment. Virtiol?! Focus in on a few comments which are far outweighed by the positive ones? And even then some/lots of probably said in jest. Way too sensitive. -

SKI replied to muikabochi's topic in Snow talk, trip reports, Japan avalanche & backcountry
Don't know about resort, it's going to mean different things to different people. In the other thread, Katsura was accused of not being a resort. We'll, I would say it is. -

SKI replied to DumbStick's topic in General off-topic discussions
It's unfortunately one of those areas that is really vague. They say it will cost them 60 man but you pay 21 man. They thing they are doing you a favour. You obviously don't. It's impossible to say in your case of course without knowing details, but lots of people leaving a place need to pay something for damages. -
