SINGAPORE – It was a knee injury sustained while on Niseko’s renowned ski slopes in 2013 that sparked the idea for Mr Simon Cheong’s award-winning Setsu Niseko resort.
“I didn’t know how to manage (the snow quality), but I went in to ski and it was too soft for me. I somehow flipped and twisted my knee,” says Mr Cheong, 68, founder and chairman of luxury property developer SC Global Developments. He had been skiing since his university days in Seattle in the United States in the 1980s, but stopped after the incident.
