Who need the Alps when we've got Wales 🀩

A five-year-old boy lost his life on Sunday morning after his arm became trapped in a conveyor-belt ski lift at a resort in Otaru, Hokkaido. Local firefighters received an emergency call from the boy’s mother at approximately 10:00 a.m., reporting that the child was caught in the machinery.

According to police, the boy fell while attempting to disembark from the lift, which connects the parking lot to the ski slopes and notably lacks handrails. Witnesses at the scene described a somber environment as emergency responders worked behind blue tarps, though the resort remained open following the tragedy. Frequent visitors to the facility have raised concerns about the lift's safety, noting that the belt often shakes at points where the slope changes.

Local authorities are currently investigating the specific circumstances of the accident and the safety standards of the equipment involved.

Winter sports are surging in popularity across China, but many enthusiasts are choosing local resorts over Japanese destinations due to ongoing diplomatic tensions. At major ski hubs like Zhangjiakou in Hebei Province, visitor numbers are expected to hit 70,000 this season as travelers postpone trips to Japan.

While some skiers cited political friction or recent natural disasters like earthquakes as reasons for staying home, China’s government is also heavily promoting its own "Ice and Snow Economy." Despite these travel shifts, a recent JETRO event featured 19 Japanese companies showcasing high-quality gear to Chinese consumers who still value Japanese craftsmanship. This industrial sector is projected to exceed 1 trillion yuan (approximately 22 trillion yen) this year, marking a massive domestic boom.

Moving forward, Japanese brands are focusing on increasing brand awareness within China to tap into this growing market even if tourism remains slow.

There is never a good time to throw an alternative to PSP members but perhaps you may give this a thought. Disabled Wintersport Australia is looking for skilled skiers with an interest in volunteering to become guides for their clients. Wonderfully fulfilling and you may even run into me in a sitskiπŸ˜ƒ. Check the DWA website if you are interested.
