muikabochi 208 Posted April 18, 2011 Share Posted April 18, 2011 The numbers (of skiers/snowboarders) for Yuzawa and Minamiuonuma in Niigata are in, according to the local newspaper today. All numbers are relative to last season, until end of March. Yuzawa town total - 1,928,000 - down 23.5% Minamiuonuma city total - 962,040 down 15.9% Going down every year lately but these are the lowest numbers since bubble. For the whole of the month of March, so including the first normal 10 days, numbers down 64.2%. Naeba - down 225,000 people Kagura - down 26,000 people Yuzawa Nakazato - down 21,000 people Gala Yuzawa - down 17,000 people Ishiuchi Maruyama - down 56,000 people Maiko - down 45,000 people Joetsu Kokusai - down 50,000 people ---- Apparently after the late-ish start, February was generally pretty decent and March was also starting off decent until the events on the 11th. Lots of snow this year so a normal run through until the end might have seen numbers hold up fairly well. Link to post Share on other sites

sanjo 2 Posted April 18, 2011 Share Posted April 18, 2011 Pity that the season couldn't have come to a natural end, I reckon numbers might have been decent. Link to post Share on other sites
tokabochi 9 Posted April 19, 2011 Share Posted April 19, 2011 They must be wondering if they ever will get a break! Interesting that Yuzawa is down by a bigger % than Yuzawa. Link to post Share on other sites

Karnidge 2 Posted May 7, 2011 Share Posted May 7, 2011 Great pic Tubby. Actually I thought Naeba got something more like 2 million. Though that may well be boom time numbers. Link to post Share on other sites
ILoveZao 8 Posted May 12, 2011 Share Posted May 12, 2011 I don't have any Zao numbers but with the resort closed for more than a month after the earthquake they won't be great looking. Link to post Share on other sites
