grungy-gonads 54 Posted November 22, 2013 Share Posted November 22, 2013 Nice cheesy one-liner to finish it off, it's just missing a comic 'BUY NOW!' in there. Link to post Share on other sites
Slippery Jim 65 Posted November 23, 2013 Share Posted November 23, 2013 Fortunately, people too F'in delicate to ``drag their luggage down snowy streets'' are unlikely to hit the mountain when conditions are at their best. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Tubby Beaver 209 Posted November 23, 2013 Share Posted November 23, 2013 Fortunately, people too F'in delicate to ``drag their luggage down snowy streets'' are unlikely to hit the mountain when conditions are at their best. I 'd at that as well!! If they think Niseko is a hodge-podge of ugly buildings, they obviously haven't been to any other resort in Japan!! Link to post Share on other sites
seemore 66 Posted November 23, 2013 Share Posted November 23, 2013 I must say it isn't a very good resort it's ugly there is no decent retail and the lifts don't really line up and it's full of Aussies and Rich Asians who all think pretty highly of themselves. Luckily gets nice snow Link to post Share on other sites

Mike Pow 52 Posted November 23, 2013 Share Posted November 23, 2013 The vitriol leveled at Niseko never ceases to amaze me. Link to post Share on other sites
muikabochi 208 Posted November 23, 2013 Share Posted November 23, 2013 What vitriol? Link to post Share on other sites
Mike Pow 52 Posted November 23, 2013 Share Posted November 23, 2013 The place that everyone loves to hate. It's far from perfect, but it's trying to drag itself out of the 80s and become a modern ski resort. There's no coherent and concerted plan but it still evolves towards that goal.

muikabochi 208 Posted November 23, 2013 Share Posted November 23, 2013 The place that everyone loves to hate. Oh, give over! It gets way more love than hate. People so close and/or with vested interests get way way too sensitive about their place. Link to post Share on other sites
Tubby Beaver 209 Posted November 23, 2013 Share Posted November 23, 2013 I agree that it gets more love than hate.......it's a balance to the nonsense......although TBF the nonsense has definitely decreased in the last few years. Most of N's exposure now is from overexcited newbies (which is cool, we've all been there). What bugs me more are long in the tooth posters who post shit about the place they love to go to try and discourage ppl to go to these places like it was an unknown secret spot Link to post Share on other sites
SKI 15 Posted November 23, 2013 Share Posted November 23, 2013 What a ridiculous comment. Virtiol?! Focus in on a few comments which are far outweighed by the positive ones? And even then some/lots of probably said in jest. Way too sensitive. Link to post Share on other sites

oblivion 5 Posted November 23, 2013 Share Posted November 23, 2013 There's so much vitriol thrown towards Niseko, I reckon it'll probably be empty this season. Got to heighten sensitivities for the struggling businesses there! Link to post Share on other sites

pie-eater 207 Posted November 23, 2013 Share Posted November 23, 2013 The vitriol leveled at Niseko never ceases to amaze me. Definitely going to be a very strong contender for the 'Great Big Pink Girly Blouse Comment' Award this season! Link to post Share on other sites
Dunga 1 Posted November 23, 2013 Share Posted November 23, 2013 The development of Niseko should be around the areas other than hirafu to ensure that the mountain doesn't get clogged in that one area. Link to post Share on other sites

seemore 66 Posted November 24, 2013 Share Posted November 24, 2013 I tell heaps of people how wonderful Niseko is my opinion as stated previously I don't like the place because of the people who go there (generalization based on my 10 day experience). Luckily it gets such good snowfall and If I was younger, wasn't a hermit or had a business interest in the place I would be there every year. Link to post Share on other sites

That's Hanazono and Niseko Village's problem. And one which they've been slow to address. Link to post Share on other sites
