Give your predictions here- more sweeping up of j resorts like Niseko by oversees investors. massive closing of unused resorts? Whole towns dying? 40 ski resorts are on the block- whats gonna happen?

The question is how much are they in dept and how much did they break the law. either or could be a major factor.

Does anyone know which ones are on the block? One of the local resorts is Kokudo. Interested to see!
She is hot like the sun but not that bright!!

Perhaps its just a vicious rumour.
Maybe LivedoorMan is coming to the rescue! ;\)
The company is one big pie, and if they’ve let me in charge of that one big pie, then I’ll be in charge of the pie, and the people are the fruit.

Someone buy the hotels and actually make them half decent perhaps? Too much to ask for.

btw, is there any Kokudo/Prince in Hakuba at all??

They haven't decided yet. But it seems they are going to make new company and keep some resorts. Of course they don't want to sell "Naeba".
No Kokudo in Hakuba. In Nagano, Shigakogen, Nojiri-ko, Karuizawa.

He has two faces as a loyal successor of Seibu empire that he inherited unlawful stock holding practices from dad and did not alter such wrong doing that he should have done it 20 years ago. But I admire his another face as an entrepreneur for developing ski resorts all over Japan. As a ski lover I wonder how much we benefitted from his facilities:Furano, Niseko-Higashi,Shizukuishi, Manza, Naeba-Tashiro-Kagura, Shiga-Yakebitai, Myoko-Suginohara, Karuizawa,...many of them were once forbidden to the population as the prices' properties. Now that he's down, I hope his successors understand great potentials of winter sports business, reinvigorate the ski resorts and will not close down!!!!!
