On February 27th 2013 we received an email from the Niseko United Free Passport Committee regarding posts on The Kutchannel "advertising the prohibited, and under Japanese law illegal sale of Niseko All Mountain Lift Season Passes" and they have asked us to prohibit such posts. We will be honoring their request. Sincerest apologies for any inconvenience and thanks, as always, for using The Kutchannel.
