oo 1 Posted February 2, 2002 Share Posted February 2, 2002 ...apart from the backcountry issue! For me it has to be one of these; --The way they close down some lifts if the resort isnt busy on a particular day (and I don't just mean because of strong winds etc) --The 1000 yen parking that some still insist on Link to post Share on other sites
el diablo 0 Posted February 2, 2002 Share Posted February 2, 2002 All the grizzly bears that they let loose on the mountains. I don't know a single person who hasn't lost a friend, lover, or family member to these deplorable creatures. Japanese resort managers, Please stop releasing grizzly bears on to the mountain during peak hours. What started off as a humorous adventure has become a danger and a legitimate threat. Grizzly bears are great, don't get me wrong, but at a family resort, not a great idea to have them running around terrorizing people. Thanks. Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Posted February 2, 2002 Share Posted February 2, 2002 Terribly overpriced food. Not all resorts are guilty, but many are. I have actually noticed more people recently taking their own food out there, which is interesting. The riders fight back! Link to post Share on other sites

el diablo 0 Posted February 2, 2002 Share Posted February 2, 2002 I think it's all the people bringing out their own food that is causing this Grizzly crisis we are experiencing. Link to post Share on other sites
Ocean11 0 Posted February 3, 2002 Share Posted February 3, 2002 Smoking in the cafeteria, smoking on the gerende, smoking in the rest areas. Today my clothes got so fumigated at lunchtime that whenever I wiped out in the pow, a blast of smoky air would rise up from the front of my jacket and assault my nose. Pigs - annihilate them all. Why can't the resorts provide a few smoke-free areas? Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Posted February 3, 2002 Share Posted February 3, 2002 Those 1000 yen charges get on my wick too, although they are much less common now than they were just a few years ago. Link to post Share on other sites
andy indy 0 Posted February 4, 2002 Share Posted February 4, 2002 I can't work out the logic that because of a couple of serious injuries they decide to close off a park at Furano. Does this mean if similar injuries occur on the main course the whole ski-field gets closed? maybe it's better not to get an answer on this one. Link to post Share on other sites
DumbStick 13 Posted May 7, 2002 Share Posted May 7, 2002 They're closed. Now that's frustrating. Link to post Share on other sites
Davo 1 Posted May 7, 2002 Share Posted May 7, 2002 Badly planned lift systems in some areas meaning you have to rely on sloooow short lifts to get your vertical. Straight to the top asap please. Link to post Share on other sites
russel 0 Posted May 10, 2002 Share Posted May 10, 2002 The smoking. Yes, especially in the restaurants and cafes. Don't know about the grizzly bears. I would like to see one of the darlings. Link to post Share on other sites

cal 6 Posted July 11, 2002 Share Posted July 11, 2002 No teleporters. I hear they're all the rage abroad (and Wada Toge of course). Link to post Share on other sites
TeleSkier 0 Posted July 11, 2002 Share Posted July 11, 2002 There are a couple out there: 1. The stictness of their out of bounds policy. I think it is rediculous. With some avalanche control some incredible areas could be opened. See Arai for this one. Arai has potential to be a great area - they just need to open more terrian. If anyone has been to Squaw Valley I'm sure they would agree. 2. Have to second Ocean11 with the smoking - just way too much of it at lunch time. Link to post Share on other sites
mogski 0 Posted July 11, 2002 Share Posted July 11, 2002 The public buses that run ONLY from Yuzawa station to Naeba and other resorts along the route MAINLY ONLY FOR THE SLIDING POPULATION that charge \100 per bag on top of the bus fare!!!!!! Now I have hear of supply and demand charges, but this one is rediculous! Link to post Share on other sites
