  1. I hate the freakin' bears,

     

    they are my nemesis, my rivals,

     

    they have taken out 6 of my friends at Niseko this year alone. And I am getting pretty tired of riding one footed, trying to get away from the bears who have camped out right at the top of the chairlift.

     

    * * * Oh how I hate those miserable bears

  2. yep bears. . . far more relevant to skiing and snowboarding than this crap-ola. . .

     

    i think you'd appreciate that what i'm saying is true if everytime you hit the backcountry you were chased by a gang of angry grizzlies.

     

    and I'm not laying out rules, it's not my place to do so, allz i'm saying is that this is a decent message board as far as message boards go, and if someone wants to cry about eikawa-related mumbo-jumbo, there are plenty

    of crybaby websites dedicated to such jibber-jabber.

  3. come on, your bitching about japanese people speaking to you ? ? this is a joke right ?

     

    this kind of post has no place on a Ski and Snowboard website. Go post this kinda crap on letsjapan.org, or gaijinpot.com or one of the other websites for whiners.

     

    I suppose you speak perfect Japanese, and no Japanese people find you irritating when you "insist" on speaking to them.

     

    If this really the kind of thing that makes you upset, just pretend you only speak Spanish or German or Sweedish or whatever. You are really not smart enough to figure this kinda thing out on your own ?

  4. If I wanted to fix the Japanese economy,

     

    First thing I would do is enact legislation

    ending the stranglehold the top 3 or 4

    banks have on the industry - the Japanese

    banks are crooked and unreliable. Also

    encourage foreign banks to set up shop,

    foreign banks with good reputations.

     

    Second thing I would do would be do get

    someone with a) integrity, and B) a spine to

    manage the Japanese banking system on the

    government level, someone like Japan's

    answer to Alan Greenspan.

     

    Third thing I would do is streamline

    liscencing and beurocracy, and set up Federal

    loan programs, making it easier

    for small busniesspeople with good ideas to

    put them into action.

     

    Fourth thing I would do would be to

    streamline import and export markets, get

    rid of all the red-tape, making it easier for

    Japanese to trade with businesspeople from

    other nations.

     

    but since I don't give a damn about fixing

    the Japanese economy, and since that was not

    the question asked, If I were a resort

    manager,

     

    1) I'd follow NoFakie's lead and focus on

    brand management and promotion, make your

    resort an idea - ideas are contagious.

     

    2) And again I'd follow NoFakie's lead and

    do whatever it takes to get celebrities

    jumping around at your resort - anything

    from offering them free packages, to setting

    up film festivals, music festivals, and

    of course, snowboard, ski, tele, cross

    country competitions.

     

    3) I'd focus on the corporate dollar and

    build a convention center - perfect for

    trade shows and meetings.

     

    4) I'd make the resort more interesting,

    keep it at the forefront of worldwide

    progression - set up a skatepark,

    trampolines, top-notch terrain park (I'm

    talking Whistler caliber), open up some

    backcountry, extreme terrain, buy more

    insurance.

     

    5) make it a good summer place as well,

    maybe set up something like a waterpark,

    or paintball.

     

    6) tell all the damn grizzly bears to take

    a hike, they're eating all the profits.

     

    yep, that's what I'd do.

  5. oh don't even get me started on the

    grizzlies. . . .

     

    they'll maul you relentlessly, then take

    your snowboard and go twice as big as you

    were going before your untimely demise.

     

    but for real, some good suggestions are

    wear bear bells (just a collar type band

    with jingle bells tied on) around your

    arm or leg or make alot of noise.

    don't carry unsealed food with

    you. and if you see a bear, back away

    slowly, no sudden movements. and if a bear

    charges, play dead. the bear will sniff you

    and paw at you, but it won't eat you.

     

    and grizzlies are the most dangerous type

    of bear. they are the only ones that will

    attack unprovoked. a black bear or a brown

    bear will not attack unless you threaten

    their young.
