This seasons staff are starting to make their way into town. We have them all stay at the Arctic accommodation in Echoland to all get to know each other and they are put through an induction to make sure they are up to speed on all the hotel processes and Hakuba details. They go out and eat in all our recommended restaurants so they can help the guests make their choices and  they get out on the mountains as soon as there is enough snow to help guide people to the best spots.  We have Sean and Sarah back from last year and they will be working at Double Black. Ginko our gorgeous Japanese waitress will be serving again at the White Horse restaurant.  Our amazing chef Ben is returning after working the summer in Miyazaki.  The staff all have a great time whiile they are here and I encourage interaction with all our guests which makes for a really comfortable environment.
