September 2007
We got in touch with some friends from WA who helped out on the Niseko Property Press regional planning study “A second chance for Niseko” to see if they would be interested in joining the fun. Jim and Micko had visited Niseko a few times and unlike many Australians could view the place without snow goggles. Micko thought that Niseko was like going to the Margaret River 20 years ago, and could see the potential to take a one trick resort (skiing) into a balanced tourist destination.
After seeing the photos, googling in on the site and thinking for all of 20 minutes Jim’s immediate reply was yes…count us in.
