drenmaster 0 Posted September 18, 2007 Share Posted September 18, 2007 just wondering if anyone knows the average price for a season ticket to appi? i heard if you go before the season starts you get a discount but i am guessing it will be around 80,000 yen. thanks for any help Link to post Share on other sites
big-will 7 Posted September 18, 2007 Share Posted September 18, 2007 It's normally 84000 yen. Eek. But if you get it before 30th Sept, it's 52500 yen. You'll have to apply to the resort. Are you living up there? Link to post Share on other sites

big-will 7 Posted September 20, 2007 Share Posted September 20, 2007 What do I mean by applying to the resort? Well, I mean you need to, er, apply to the resort. Not sure how else to say that. The info for the resort on here is http://www.snowjapan.com/e/resorts/resortdetail.php?resid=110 There's a link to their website there and info on there you might need a Japanese friend to help you out.

Snow-Woman 0 Posted September 20, 2007 Share Posted September 20, 2007 84000 sounds a lot. Link to post Share on other sites
jared 0 Posted September 21, 2007 Share Posted September 21, 2007 A couple of years ago if you got a pass to Geto you could also use it at Appi (this might be cheaper than buying the appi pass). We were paying about 4man for the pass if brought before october - check the web site. Link to post Share on other sites
soubriquet 0 Posted September 21, 2007 Share Posted September 21, 2007 What were you doing in Isawa, if I may be so bold? Link to post Share on other sites
jared 0 Posted September 21, 2007 Share Posted September 21, 2007 You may be so bold. I should update that - I have lived in about 4 different places since I was in Isawa. I was doing what most gajin do in japan - teaching English (me in Kitakami and the wife in Isawa) Link to post Share on other sites
soubriquet 0 Posted September 21, 2007 Share Posted September 21, 2007 Iwate's a good place for a skier. I'm in northern Yamagata. I like it very much. Link to post Share on other sites
Tubby Beaver 209 Posted September 21, 2007 Share Posted September 21, 2007 just for skiers soubs or is it fine for boarders as well? Link to post Share on other sites
soubriquet 0 Posted September 21, 2007 Share Posted September 21, 2007 Sorry, didn't mean to upset you If heaps of cold powder is good for boarding, then it's probably OK. Link to post Share on other sites
Tubby Beaver 209 Posted September 21, 2007 Share Posted September 21, 2007 wasn't upset, it was a genuine question, cos I know some places are skier only. I've heard that good powder is ok for boarding so I reckon I might be ok! Link to post Share on other sites
soubriquet 0 Posted September 21, 2007 Share Posted September 21, 2007 Just taking the pish, mate. The best thing about Iwate is that everyone coming north overflies on their way to Hokkaido. Link to post Share on other sites
Tubby Beaver 209 Posted September 21, 2007 Share Posted September 21, 2007 Maybe I can beaver my way up there this winter, I wanna hit as many different places as my wallet allows me! Link to post Share on other sites
FukushimaFellow 0 Posted September 23, 2007 Share Posted September 23, 2007 I quite like the place but wouldn't be on for a season ticket (especially at that price!) Link to post Share on other sites
soubriquet 0 Posted September 23, 2007 Share Posted September 23, 2007 Where do you go to slide from Fukushima? Link to post Share on other sites
FukushimaFellow 0 Posted September 26, 2007 Share Posted September 26, 2007 It depends. Alts, the resorts around Bandai, Inawashiro. Sometimes I go up to Yamagata as well. Link to post Share on other sites
Zaoman 0 Posted September 30, 2007 Share Posted September 30, 2007 I want to try a few more places round there myself. Are you in Fukushima city or nearer the hills FF? Link to post Share on other sites
soubriquet 0 Posted September 30, 2007 Share Posted September 30, 2007 What days do you get off Zaoman? I'm going to be hitting Onikobe and Appi again this season. I have seats in the car, and the Tsubasa stops right outside my front door. Link to post Share on other sites
FukushimaFellow 0 Posted October 1, 2007 Share Posted October 1, 2007 Well this year I am going to try and get some weekdays off but usually weekends. I'd much prefer to work some weekends and then have some other days off. I'll only really know in December probably. Lets keep in touch nearer the time. Link to post Share on other sites
fukdane 2 Posted October 2, 2007 Share Posted October 2, 2007 Sounds good FF, we'll have to meet up this season. Link to post Share on other sites
