Thank you for your video. I watched your video with my great interest. I am a skier myself and skied worldwide. My son (age 30) is heading to Alaska for 11 days for back-country (& hell-skiing?) on Dec. 26 next week. Your report is not just only for fun but you presented your view on rise & fall of ski induestires in Japan, including your obseration with chronological roder in relationshiops with economic and sociological events. Your video is part of aneconomic research and academic level. You may consider to avance you analytical skills in economic matters elsewhere in the world, especially in the U.S.A. if you are good at English or if you want to learn English in the long term. Please not that you can ski year round worldwide. When it is winter time in Japan & Northern Atomphere, it is winter in Southern Atomsphere. I skiied in "Alta Patagoia de Catedral" in Argentia and Portilla in Chile during summe (July & August) in Japan, the U.S.A.r time, and Austria. Thank you. (Sorry for my English.) (Born in Tokyo. Lived in OH 26 years & USA 40 years.)
JR SKI SKIの広告は並べると秀逸ですね。「青春は純白だ」今年再使用しても良いくらいのキャッチコピー。 長野とニセコに外国人がやってきたのは2000年代初頭ですね。ニセコはオーストラリア人、長野は長野五輪に出場したプロスノーボーダー達が出していたDVDがきっかけです。 2000年後半には日本人が減っていたので、半分外国人?って感じでした。2010年以降のインバウンド需要でも増えましたが、一番増えたのが湯沢ですね。北京での冬季五輪開催が決まって、キンペイ君の号令でウンタースポーツに力を入れることになったんだけど、雪慣れしてない中国人が目を付けたのがアクセスが良く、空きリゾートマンションだらけだった湯沢。
