cheeseman 1 Posted March 26, 2004 Share Posted March 26, 2004 This season, did you notice any new facilities at resorts? (It doesn't have to be cheese related) I didn't. (I was very upset to see that no resorts took up my idea to cater for all those cheesefans, their loss). Link to post Share on other sites
nagpants 1 Posted March 27, 2004 Share Posted March 27, 2004 That park at Arai the only think I have noticed. Link to post Share on other sites
Siem Reeves 0 Posted March 30, 2004 Share Posted March 30, 2004 we got a new park, a new english warning sign for where not to go, lots more omiyage in the shop... that's all i can think of right now. they are making a real effort to listen to riders who email the hill about things they would like, ie. the park and all the new rails they have. i want to ask if they can get a small box so i can practice rail slides Link to post Share on other sites

r45 4 Posted April 4, 2004 Share Posted April 4, 2004 Some of the resorts I have noticed have taken some of the lifts out of use. They didnt even prepare them, closed at weekends too. Opposite of resort development. Link to post Share on other sites
stripper on coke 0 Posted April 6, 2004 Share Posted April 6, 2004 Yeah, we got a couple of new signs at Kagura, and a couple of laughs at the english phrasing, 'it is not allowed the skiing of snowboards out of bounds'......Why can't anyone (almost) in this country get an english message or sign correct. Surely it can't be too hard to ask someone. I mean, if I wanted to make a Japanese sign and stick it somewhere, the first thing I would do is have a Japanese person/speaker read it and see if makes sense. Japanese people/organisations don't seem to do this seemly simple operation, and I usually get a good chuckle at the results..... BTW, I wonder if the 'boarding of skis' out of bounds is a goer or not.....mmmm Link to post Share on other sites

Ocean11 0 Posted April 6, 2004 Share Posted April 6, 2004 > 'it is not allowed the skiing of snowboards out of bounds' Quite right. Bloody dangerous thing to do. You should only use one board when riding out of bounds. Link to post Share on other sites
