I usually tend not to post to these threads but in this case I had to.
Mitch and Yoshie are some of the coolest people you will ever meet. They have been good friends of mine for a long time.
I lived in Hakuba when there wasn't a Snowbeds or a Snowdin Inn. Believe me when I say both were, ARE, badly needed.
It seems that the only thing bad to say about Snowbeds - the place to stay - is the heaters smell! OK maybe they need to give lessons on the does and don'ts of kerosene heaters. I'll offer my assistance during the upcoming season when I visit their establishment.
As for some not so good personal interactions that have been mentioned here well...doesn't that happen everywhere you go. No one gets along with everyone.
But I imagine this post will make everyone involved think a little about our actions.
So...SNOWBEDS...if you choose to go I believe you will meet 2 great owners & a lot of cool people from all over the world. You'll get a comfortable place to crash in a place with a very casual atmosphere.
But there is something else that almost every poster forgot to mention.
If your lucky you'll get a chance at some of the nicest powder in the world. Mother nature willing! (and yes for everyone, but only if your properly prepared)
That will bring smiles to everyone. Gotta go.
Peace
Chris
PS Hey Yoshie I seem to recall having inserted a few coins into that beer machine too!
