NHK report on Niseko in the poo
keba replied to nzlegend's topic in Snow talk, trip reports, Japan avalanche & backcountry
And not a government in the world has any idea of how to stop it. That's the down-side of having a free-market economy. They don't have the regulatory legislation in place to take over when the market is in free-fall, and handing out millions (or billions) of dollar/pound/yen in "stimulus" packages does nothing but lift confidene for a day or two, then back to the slide. Americans are so afraid of "big government", too, that the legislators won't even step up to the plate to do anything. Poor Obama, he's not going to have a fun first term. -

Ski Passes in Hakuba

You'll be skiing at a few different resorts, which don't have shared pass arrangements (mostly). You'll be better just to pick up day passes at the resort you're sking at each day. -

There will always be civil servants, but when less taxes come in, budgets are cut, and then you will find there are less civil servants. -

Sorry, Mamabear, I forgot to mention that bit to you before. How are you finding the terrain otherwise? Have you skipped over the top to Cervinia for a Pizza yet? Youe lift pass is valid there, if you bought the right one.

We are down in Kutchan too for Oz day (thanks to GN again). There must be some way to have a VB/XXXX/Foster's or two there without fighting spilling onto the streets? -

I was think more along the lines of something that won't be going on every night.
