frannyo 2 Posted December 11, 2002 Share Posted December 11, 2002 Just got to thinking, but who actually designs resorts (if "designs" is the right word). Not just in Japan, but anywhere. Are there "Resort Design Specialists" or something, a few giants who do most of them or what? Link to post Share on other sites

Will Lee 0 Posted December 12, 2002 Share Posted December 12, 2002 I`d love to be given the chance to design a ski resort! Link to post Share on other sites
damian 0 Posted December 12, 2002 Share Posted December 12, 2002 There are people who specialise in ski resort design, much like golf course (puke) designers. I suspect that they lead a fine life. Link to post Share on other sites
dale#1 1 Posted December 12, 2002 Share Posted December 12, 2002 But isn't there a saturation point in the number of resorts now? Can't be that many new ones being built?? Link to post Share on other sites
jared 0 Posted December 12, 2002 Share Posted December 12, 2002 Thats just one of the jobs you never think of - like being a power station broker, I met one onece in Niseko, If you need to buy or sell a power station he's your man. Link to post Share on other sites
Fattwins 0 Posted December 12, 2002 Share Posted December 12, 2002 there are a few companies that focus on design f resorts not just ski. They plan everything trail maintence water irigation hotels etc. Eco something out of Canada is one of the biggest. Link to post Share on other sites
enderzero 0 Posted December 13, 2002 Share Posted December 13, 2002 How about the guy that paints the trail maps. Around here it seems like all the trail maps are done by this one guy. Not a bad job. Link to post Share on other sites

sunrise 0 Posted December 15, 2002 Share Posted December 15, 2002 The guy who designed, many (all???) of the Prince Hotel resorts is Tsueno Noto, who was a world cup skier many years ago (60s, 70s????) He's in charge of all the Prince Hotel ski schools too. So basically he was a pro skier before he got that gig. Link to post Share on other sites
