damian 0 Posted December 13, 2002 Author Share Posted December 13, 2002 I can just here it now, ocean, down at Arai: "damn all this snow is a hassle. Good thing there are no people around" Link to post Share on other sites

fukdane 2 Posted December 14, 2002 Share Posted December 14, 2002 SKI, you should know better than attempt to question His Majesty. Most of the rest of us just chuckle and leave alone Link to post Share on other sites
Ocean11 0 Posted December 15, 2002 Share Posted December 15, 2002 SKI thank you for noticing. It's all a cry for help. Perhaps you'd like to drop me an e, and then we can talk about it some, and maybe you could help me become a better, more cheerful person. Link to post Share on other sites
NoFakie 45 Posted December 15, 2002 Share Posted December 15, 2002 On the road into/out of Arai, there's an onsen that's seemed to have people staying in it. No rotemburo, but the bath is a lot cheaper than the Arai spa. Ask the tourist people. Link to post Share on other sites
LiquidX 0 Posted December 16, 2002 Share Posted December 16, 2002 Looking forward to making my way up to that place this year. They've opened up now haven't they... Link to post Share on other sites
damian 0 Posted December 16, 2002 Author Share Posted December 16, 2002 yes, they have opened, but I only found out by accidently noticing on the SJ resort info page (thankyou SJ people). There wasnt even mention of it on the NOW! page (not the fault of SJ people). I can only assume that the NOW! correspondent doesnt actually work for the resort. I checked the english website but it is still under construction. Link to post Share on other sites
Ocean11 0 Posted December 16, 2002 Share Posted December 16, 2002 That place is so funny. There's currently loads of information available on the site except for the most important point that HELLO, WE'VE OPENED AT LAST! Going to the site for the first time, you'd be forgiven for thinking that it's just an empty shell, until you click on the links and find that it's not actually under construction, but has been fully constructed except of some crucial, current information. And all the text is written from the point of view of skiers. "Kindly don't ski here ...", "For the advanced skier ...", "Have a great day skiing ..." I thought they got quite a few boarders up there... Check this out for some good skiing fun; http://www.araimt.com/english/gelande/index.html I'm sorry, I shouldn't laugh, it must be really hard getting something like this right. Actually, no I'm not sorry at all, it's pathetic. Link to post Share on other sites
damian 0 Posted December 17, 2002 Author Share Posted December 17, 2002 yes, their marketing strategy does seem to be about as useful as a plectrum is to a man with no fingers. Link to post Share on other sites
grungy-gonads 54 Posted December 17, 2002 Share Posted December 17, 2002 It seems that their marketing strategy of "Let's not have troublesome dudes like that Ocean11 coming to our resort" is working for them then. They're probably celebrating that success. Link to post Share on other sites

Ocean11 0 Posted December 17, 2002 Share Posted December 17, 2002 Don't be a wuss now grumpy gonads. It's no skin off your nose if I think Arai has a lame website and lame management. Don't go joining SKI in the unhappy box now. Link to post Share on other sites
