muikabochi 208 Posted January 7, 2012 Share Posted January 7, 2012 Oh to be 21! No Alts, I see.... Link to post Share on other sites
Metabo Oyaji 71 Posted January 7, 2012 Author Share Posted January 7, 2012 No Alts, I see.... No, and no Nekoma or Grandeco, either. They are all in the general promotion for 19-year-olds, but not in this (Fukushima-specific) one. Link to post Share on other sites
hellyer 216 Posted January 7, 2012 Share Posted January 7, 2012 Why do they do that - give away tickets for a the bulk of the season? And why that age? Link to post Share on other sites
RobBright 35 Posted January 7, 2012 Share Posted January 7, 2012 Guess that's the age where students have money and still deciding what to so with their free time? Perhaps that's the core age to keep them interested and also to bring youth into the area? Seems a great offer and hopefully it will work. Saw on a news story that in some areas of fukushima, there is only 1 young person out of every 3 people. Although don't know what they classified as young. Link to post Share on other sites

rach 1 Posted January 8, 2012 Share Posted January 8, 2012 Lucky people of that age in that area! I'm 21 but it's a bit far. Link to post Share on other sites
Karnidge 2 Posted January 8, 2012 Share Posted January 8, 2012 And you don't need to live in Fukushima? Awesome deal for people who are in reach. Why is it those age groups? Link to post Share on other sites

hellyer 216 Posted January 8, 2012 Share Posted January 8, 2012 That's about right Karnidge. A few years ago I was eating at the restaurant just below the top gondola station at Akakan (Myoko) when 2 little grey haired Japanese ladies come over for a chat, they had done a tour to Cairns & Ayers Rock & were keen to practice their Australian/engrish - I don't know why they were attracted to me - maybe it's because I look older than I am or maybe I am older than I look. Any way they told me they were 80 years old which amazed me as they wer definately in ski gear. I said to them "surely you are not 80 but you are 40 each". WELL - they did not stop giggling for about 10 minutes. I think I made their day, or year. Anyway they went ouside clipped in and took off down hill. I hope I am still enjoying it that much at 80 Link to post Share on other sites
