Hello everyone!
I’m Naoki, your ski-resort VTuber!
This time.
The ski resort was dissolved in 2024.
I will present you on the topic!
So please go!
Hokkaido Northern Arkhizotski resort
2024 year3 month20Day off work.
The Northern Arctic Resort in Hokkaido.
This is2024 year3 month20I finished the business with day. The disruption of this ski resort is the main reason for the performance loss due to a decrease in users due to the colony crash.
In particular, the recent years of business failure has been influenced by the operating company Nusan Arkhizot, which2024 year3We decided to close all the operations by the end of the month.
In particular, the ski area.2024 year3 month17Work up to the day, and then.20The day was closed.
Also, with the closure of ski resort, golf courses that were located within the resorts are also to be closed.
Miyagi Prefecture Zao St. Mary's resort
2024 year3 month3Day off work.
The King of St. Mary's Square,2024 year3 month3I stopped working with the day. This ski resort was opened in 1990 and has a 34-year history, but there were several important reasons for the decision to dissolve.
①雪不足
The effects of recent warming have serioused the snow shortage and difficulty in stable operations. 2023/24There is little snow in the season, and there are few working days.7I stayed in the day.
②利用者の減少
The decline in ski population is also a major factor. Once upon a pic.15There were more than a thousand users.2022The year is approved.3Thousand7000It has decreased to people.
③設備の老朽化
The ski resort facilities have also been aged and the maintenance management costs have increased. This has led to a harsh management and it is considered difficult for the business to continue.
The factors have been increasing, and Kawasaki City has decided to close the ski resort.
Tochigi Prefecture and Mount Jeans
2024 year3 month10Day off work.
Mount Jeans was opened in the ski boom period of 1994 and has a history of about 30 years, but it is believed that recent warming led to snow deficiency and its reduction in users and management challenges have affected.
More specifically.3The reason can be considered.
The impact of warming.
Mount Jeans has been reduced by climate change in recent years, and the start time was delayed or the end time was increasingly early. This made the stability of business difficult.
②経営判断
The operating company East急 Resorts & Stay decided to close the investment and not be able to recover in the time it needed for future facility investments, while snow shortages continue. This is the result of taking into account the impact on management of lifts and costs for maintenance of facilities.
③競争環境
As the number of users in the ski resort is decreasing, the balance between demand and supply has been broken and overcompetition continues. The number of ski resorts remains high and the user is decreasing, making sustainable operation harder.
From this background, it was actually black until the end of 2023/24 season but as a reasonable decision on management it is to be closed with the current season.
Gumma Prefecture 赤沢ski resort
2024 year3 month10Day off work.
Gumma Prefecture is an old ski resort, which was opened in 1980.
The main reason I think is to go on!
An old-fashioned equipment.
The ski resort lifts and other facilities were old-fashioned, making maintenance difficult.
②利用者の減少
By the most prosperous period around 1990 there were about 25,000 visitors per year, but since the bubble collapse the number of visitors was decreased and recently dropped to approximately 11,000. Such a decrease in users has had a significant impact on the operation of ski resort.
Three hands are not enough.
The lack of staff needed to run the ski resort, and part-time staff were operated by about 15 people, which also made it difficult for continuing operation.
④地域振興の目的達成
赤沢ski resort was initially established to create winter field jobs for forest workers, but its objective was believed to have been achieved and the future operation need was reduced and contributed to the decision of dissolving.
From this background,赤沢ski resort decided to close its operations in the 2023/24 season and was set to be a shadow of 44 years history.
Niigata Prefecture
2024/25 season ends.
Niigata Prefecture Village's wine ski resort, which is located in the city of Niigata Prefecture, has officially decided that the朝日村 before the merger of the town was opened in 1988 and will be closed for the last time in the 2024/25 season.
Head of the village, Mr. Bono.2023 year6 month7The main reasons for what was announced by the City Council are:
Reduction of users.
The ski field is opened at the beginning of year.2There are thousands of users, but in recent years.1The situation goes below thousands of people.
②施設の老朽化
Lifts and other facilities are old-fashioned, making maintenance difficult.
It is difficult to secure three employees.
With the limited working environment in winter, it is difficult to get the necessary staff.
Due to the above factors, the village markets are planning to decide a policy to close the wheat ski resort and after closure to remove elevators and buildings etc. and return to their original state.
Aomori Prefecture Crab田ski resort
2024 year3Month of work.
Crabdaski resort was opened in 1981 and has been familiar with the local residents for many years, but the recent decrease in user numbers and the aging of facilities have become a serious problem.
This too.3The reason can be considered.
①老朽化
The ski resort has more than 40 years of history and its old ageing has become notable. This resulted in increasing costs of maintenance.
②利用者の減少
The region’s population decline and the ski population decline have led to a significant decrease in user numbers. Especially since the colony crash, snow deficiency and lighting equipment failures have also been affected, with a decrease in working days and users.
③運営体制の問題
The number of members of the ski club that was running by the management of ski resort has decreased and the ageing is ongoing, making it harder to ensure operating system. This makes the ski resort operating difficult and is also a major factor of elimination.
In the context of these factors, the city’s2024 year3We have established a policy to abolish the Crabda ski field with the moon.
The ski resort is closed in 2024.
