veronica 2 Posted February 1, 2005 Share Posted February 1, 2005 And do they have any "romance" lifts? Link to post Share on other sites
nzlegend 1 Posted February 1, 2005 Share Posted February 1, 2005 I bet you a dollor that there is double black run somewhere called "Kamikaze" there has to be! Link to post Share on other sites
MistaSparkle 0 Posted February 1, 2005 Share Posted February 1, 2005 Funny how overseas resorts get all the cool Japanese trail names. Japanese resorts get colorful titles like "center course," "difficult course," and "easy course." Link to post Share on other sites
fukdane 2 Posted February 1, 2005 Share Posted February 1, 2005 Or the even more exotically-named A Course, B Course, C Course. Link to post Share on other sites
sakebomb 0 Posted February 1, 2005 Share Posted February 1, 2005 Saw a Challenge course, a champion course and a family course. I am sure the signs were in the wrong places. Not exactly a family course! Link to post Share on other sites
IM 0 Posted February 1, 2005 Share Posted February 1, 2005 Funny, that Japanese do not really use the word "harakiri". Link to post Share on other sites
tsondaboy 0 Posted February 1, 2005 Share Posted February 1, 2005 yes they say "seppuku". Kanji is the same but in reverse order. i.e. 腹切= harakiri 切腹= seppuku I ve heard that harakiri is a word the first guijins that arrived in Japan made. It is not originally a japanese word.

I'm Sexy 0 Posted February 2, 2005 Share Posted February 2, 2005 And this is name of ski run?! Link to post Share on other sites
Snowhaus 0 Posted February 2, 2005 Share Posted February 2, 2005 Err... yeah, there is a run in Australia called Kamikaze. But it's definitely not a double black. It's one of the steeper runs at the resort, but given that most of Perisher isn't that steep to start with... Link to post Share on other sites
