frannyo 2 Posted February 1, 2007 Share Posted February 1, 2007 They've probably been warned that it can't happen again and just being mad careful. It must be hurting. Link to post Share on other sites
SirJibAlot 0 Posted February 1, 2007 Share Posted February 1, 2007 bad snow season plus regulators on your back - sucks to be Gala right now.... Link to post Share on other sites
big-will 7 Posted February 3, 2007 Share Posted February 3, 2007 Closed again today... Link to post Share on other sites
SirJibAlot 0 Posted February 3, 2007 Share Posted February 3, 2007 At this rate - GALA is going to go out of business....closed after a nice dump ON A SATURDAY!!!?!?!?!?! May we should organize a BC team to hike up to GALA....we'd have the place to ourselves! Link to post Share on other sites
klingon 10 Posted February 3, 2007 Share Posted February 3, 2007 And it was closed last Saturday and Sunday as well as the Friday. They must be in a lot of trouble. Link to post Share on other sites
Karnidge 2 Posted February 5, 2007 Share Posted February 5, 2007 And closed again today Link to post Share on other sites
minus 1 Posted February 5, 2007 Share Posted February 5, 2007 Aren't they part of JR? They seem to have been closed more than open this season. There will be an interesting story behind this. Link to post Share on other sites
muikabochi 208 Posted February 5, 2007 Author Share Posted February 5, 2007 Today as well? Wow. It hardly feels windy at all today. They will probably have to make some changes for next season. I don't think it is the gondola that is the problem as such - it's just that if the gondola has to stop because of winds then there are lots of people stuck up there. Perhaps they will be considering making some sort of course down the mountain or something. (I think they did anyway at the beginning). Link to post Share on other sites
SirJibAlot 0 Posted February 6, 2007 Share Posted February 6, 2007 Even though JR has more money than god - they still have spent a TON of cash on advertising and marketing and yet they have been closed on most days....Isn't JR funded by the government (and our tax $$'s???)

mina2 6 Posted February 6, 2007 Share Posted February 6, 2007 Most of their advertising is within the JR family I believe, so they might get a discout I think their advertisiting is also very targeted/concentrated to central Tokyo. Maybe wrong there of course. It will be difficult I would imagine to have a course down from there that beginners could use. Link to post Share on other sites
joshnii 2 Posted February 28, 2007 Share Posted February 28, 2007 i see Gala are now announcing whether they will be open or not each morning at 6am - must be very frustrating for them. Closed today. Sounds like they are having a nightmare season, I wonder what their numbers are like. Link to post Share on other sites
xxx 2 Posted March 2, 2007 Share Posted March 2, 2007 I bet they are hurting. I spoke to some colleagues who were under the impression the place was closed for the season. When I mentioned the way they are announcing their status every morning, they just shrugged. You're not going to get as many people going if you can only let them know if you are opening or not on the day. Link to post Share on other sites
