ippy 66 Posted October 16, 2012 Share Posted October 16, 2012 ah... thats a shame. I cant pera pera. Tsugaike and Iwatake have a star next to it as well with the impenetrably translated "Indicates a common facility available only season ticket" Heres that nagano list again since i think i missed some of it above. ETA: Google translate, so try your best to figure it out Ski resort parking Iizuna Kurohime Kogen Snow Park ROYAL HILL ski field Shirakabako Hakuba Onsen Ski Norikura Ski plateau Minenohara Yatsugatake Chateraise Ski Resort Komi Riekkusu Ski Valley Hakuba Cortina ski field Sports Village Kashimayari Ski Park Ryuo Tangram Ski Circus ★ Tsugaike Ski Resort ★ Iwatake Hakuba Snow Field Saga of the Hakuba ski resort Takaifuji X-JAM Link to post Share on other sites

SnowJapan Admin SnowJapan 178 Posted November 14, 2012 SnowJapan Admin Share Posted November 14, 2012 It looks like Budoh in northern Niigata isn't going to make it this season 安全・安心な管理運営を行うための体制や、施設整備に時間を要することなどにより、2012－2013シーズンの営業は休止させていただきます。 Link to post Share on other sites
SKI 15 Posted November 14, 2012 Share Posted November 14, 2012 Maintenance, just before the season? If I understood that, sounds like an excuse that does to me. Link to post Share on other sites
Metabo Oyaji 71 Posted November 15, 2012 Share Posted November 15, 2012 Sound like they can't afford to keep up with the maintenance. I suppose that might be what finally drives a lot of places under as equipment ages. (Excepting, of course, the hardy souls at Mt. Granview, who would never be deterred by such a trifling detail.)

muikabochi 208 Posted November 15, 2012 Author Share Posted November 15, 2012 Mt Granview go the investing for the future way. Budoh, never seen that place, actually nave been up to that far north part of Niigata. If they simply can't afford to run it, that's that isn't it. Link to post Share on other sites

muikabochi 208 Posted November 19, 2012 Author Share Posted November 19, 2012 Actually I was wrong. The skijo is actually in Murakami city. Before being merged to be part of Murakami, it was part of 朝日村 And it was in the 葡萄 part of Asahi. The address has now changed, but it still has 'Budoh' in it: 新潟県村上市蒲萄338-1 And 蒲萄 is grape!
