muikabochi 208 Posted January 15, 2014 Share Posted January 15, 2014 Let's list up places that let us ski and board listening only to the lovely sounds of nature, and don't subject us to AKB48, Kyary Pamyu Pamyu, TM Revolution, Bon Jovi, Kool & The Gang and Wham. ----- -- Mt Granview -- Yuzawa Kogen Link to post Share on other sites
tokabochi 9 Posted January 15, 2014 Share Posted January 15, 2014 The Legendary Mt Granview tops yet another list! I don't think there was any music at Chateau Shiozawa. Link to post Share on other sites
BakCntrySkier 1 Posted January 15, 2014 Share Posted January 15, 2014 Yeah…..why do they do that? I going back to the states to record a day of skiing as it should sound (in my humble opinion) and just play it on my iPod when I'm skiing here. Link to post Share on other sites
Gunma Boarder 14 Posted January 15, 2014 Share Posted January 15, 2014 Does Tenjindaira have music? I can't seem to remember. Link to post Share on other sites
Biggen 3 Posted January 15, 2014 Share Posted January 15, 2014 Two season back I was boarding at Cortina. After lunch I walked out to the lifts for another few more rides. Blairing over the PA system was Witney Useless song "I will always love you". The resort had been pumping out this sort of sound pollution all morning. This was really getting annoying. I turn to the American skier in the lift line with me and remarked, "I wish this b%$#H would just roll over and die. The Skier started to piss himself laughing. I through myself that it was not that funny. When the American gain control of himself. He reply back to me that 'she is she die yesterday and start to laugh again. To which I had no knowledge that she actually did! Link to post Share on other sites

muikabochi 208 Posted January 15, 2014 Author Share Posted January 15, 2014 Back to Kool and the Gang. I have just come back from a few hours at Joetsu Kokusai. Fun it was and in the end the skies did decide to clear up. Anywhos, we had a Kool and the Gang "best of" - all the classics including Joanna, Cherish, Fresh and of course the ever popular Celebrate.

snowdude 44 Posted January 15, 2014 Share Posted January 15, 2014 Well my local plays music on the lifts although its not so load so not easy to hear it most of the time. On the slopes though you can not hear any music just the natural sounds of planks slicing through snow just how it should be. Never been to any resorts that dont play music and I have been to quite a lot. The worst one is though and a resort I will never go again even if it was free for the whole season is Royal hill in Chino, Nagano. That place takes the piss with music it is so load no matter whete you are even in the carpark it sounds like your in a bloody night club its so loud. There is no escaping it. Sucks big time it is more like you are skiing through a night club than on a mountain. I reckon all the poor wildlife there must be deaf by now. Link to post Share on other sites

Kansaiash 6 Posted January 16, 2014 Share Posted January 16, 2014 Takasu Snow Park has a DJ and they take requests. Its had the best music I've heard at a skijo at times but other times it's up there with the worst of them. Link to post Share on other sites
pie-eater 207 Posted January 16, 2014 Share Posted January 16, 2014 Sounds good that. Do you think he would have any Shakey? Doesn't/didn't Gala Yuzawa have a DJ thing? Link to post Share on other sites
Boolugu Mez 3 Posted January 16, 2014 Share Posted January 16, 2014 Last year when in Niseko they did play tunes at Annupuri, but not at Niseko Village where we spent most of our time. What they did have though was a constant loop of "You are approaching the top, please lift your safety bar and keep your ski tips up.......etc" in Japanese then English. Interestingly, on one particular day on one specific lift only, the usual recording had been substituted for one with a lady whose voice sounded rather like one of those telephone lines for men - the type where they charge you per minute... ( I'm speculating as I have never actually called on such a service myself ) On this occasion the Japanese was not translated into English, leaving me guessing as to the exact nature of the text of the recording - though my wife and I agreed that whatever she was saying it certainly sounded too raunchy to translate......

pie-eater 207 Posted January 16, 2014 Share Posted January 16, 2014 I'm going to go with my Shakey collection and see if we can't have a Shakey Day. Shakey all day! It might start a trend. Link to post Share on other sites
muikabochi 208 Posted January 16, 2014 Author Share Posted January 16, 2014 GALA used to be full time dj. When I went this year it was just music, no dj. Perhaps weekends? Link to post Share on other sites
Metabo Oyaji 71 Posted January 16, 2014 Share Posted January 16, 2014 Takasu Snow Park has a DJ and they take requests. Its had the best music I've heard at a skijo at times but other times it's up there with the worst of them. Hunter Mtn. has a DJ and they take requests. Apparently everyone was requesting Lady Gaga the day I was there. Link to post Share on other sites
