brit-gob 9 Posted February 9, 2005 Share Posted February 9, 2005 Just reading in another thread Fattwins talking about 47 pulling passes if you go to 'naughty places'. Wondering if anyone has any experience of passes being taken anywhere (else)? Link to post Share on other sites
mattlucas 0 Posted February 9, 2005 Share Posted February 9, 2005 I havn't had any pass pulling experiences but I think most resorts will pull your pass if you are caught skiing in closed areas. Link to post Share on other sites
SKI 15 Posted February 9, 2005 Share Posted February 9, 2005 I think I remember a thread some time ago where someone was saying "there's no way they'd take a pass off me". Anyone here feel like that? And what would you do.... fight? Link to post Share on other sites
miteyak 0 Posted February 9, 2005 Share Posted February 9, 2005 Taking FT up on his offer, eh? Link to post Share on other sites
Fattwins 0 Posted February 9, 2005 Share Posted February 9, 2005 fight with words but never with fists yes i would. if its somewhere that has no reason to be closed then I will say something. That said I rarely these days go to places that really go after you. I prefer the no hassle places to the hassle places Link to post Share on other sites

Thunderbird2 0 Posted March 1, 2005 Share Posted March 1, 2005 Was up at Gala yesterday, saw some people messing round down the side of the mountain (very steep, looks sure dangerous)... looks like they were warned a few times but going back (we saw this from the lifts over a period of about an hour). Last we saw sure looked like they were being dragged away, very probably to the gondola with their day ended. Link to post Share on other sites
sava 0 Posted March 2, 2005 Share Posted March 2, 2005 if they've been repeatedly warned... Link to post Share on other sites
marnix 0 Posted March 2, 2005 Share Posted March 2, 2005 2 weeks ago I was in Naeba and a lot of terrain was closed. Patrol was on high alert. But you could easily circumvent the ropes to get waistdeep into the good stuff. I didn't duck or jump ropes, just took a more creative lineon the slopes, with 5meters walking up to a closed chair. If they don't want me there then they should make rethink on where they put the ropes. Link to post Share on other sites
sava 0 Posted March 2, 2005 Share Posted March 2, 2005 yeah, i think going around ropes isn't so bad... one time in nz (mt hutt) i accidentally went over an edge into a 'closed' section that wasn't even roped off and got told off by a liftie.. Link to post Share on other sites
Yuki's Passion 1 Posted March 2, 2005 Share Posted March 2, 2005 Cortina are w@nkers - I got lectured for about 20 mins Link to post Share on other sites
mattlucas 0 Posted March 2, 2005 Share Posted March 2, 2005 FT and I got a good short stern lecture by a chick patroller at Tsugaike on sunday after coming out of the trees. We were marked for the day so packed up after only 2 runs and moved down to Happo-one Link to post Share on other sites
Yuki's Passion 1 Posted March 2, 2005 Share Posted March 2, 2005 thats why yall left... I never got FF emails bout that... but I usually need them translated into English anyways Link to post Share on other sites
mattlucas 0 Posted March 2, 2005 Share Posted March 2, 2005 Hahaha There isn't anything to keep us busy at Tsugaike. The groomed or cut runs suck poo. And if we got caught again which we would have they would have pulled both our passes and FT has more to lose than I do with his season pass. Link to post Share on other sites
Yuki's Passion 1 Posted March 2, 2005 Share Posted March 2, 2005 groomed runs there are for beginner only. Too bad. Whered she get ya? PM me Tatsu email, cant find it mate! Link to post Share on other sites
mattlucas 0 Posted March 2, 2005 Share Posted March 2, 2005 She got us on the south side. There was probably a patroller waiting at the other exit as well. Link to post Share on other sites
Yuki's Passion 1 Posted March 2, 2005 Share Posted March 2, 2005 Ski, I would never fight with patrol over a pass; but have heard incidents where patrol have been rough and hit people before. If I was hit by somebody first, then I would fight. Like I said, I was polite with the Cortina patrol and got to keep my pass; had I been rude and uncooperative then Im sure they wouldve pulled it in a second. Dont think its worth yelling at patrol, theyre just doing their job, right? It just depends on the attitude and abuse of power that often happens in this country. Link to post Share on other sites
Fattwins 0 Posted March 2, 2005 Share Posted March 2, 2005 You guys need to start deleting some off those words that........ to much away. lol Sorry CB I though I told you about that. I was freaking busy man driving and hosting and thinking. I gave Toque a choice once deep trees pillow drops or open chutes 2nd to last run. That run was sic as. My mind was focused on one task the whole weekend sic lines and where are they. I think we made 2 mistakes, tsugaike too early in the morning and the chute. Go to nozawa or hakuba cb, tats will take you he is already asking about you. Cross your fingers for us this weekend too eh. Link to post Share on other sites
Yuki's Passion 1 Posted March 2, 2005 Share Posted March 2, 2005 emailed tats now, thanks. So, did yall drop the pillows or chutes? The pillows looked beautiful!! If its wot Im thinkin of. Link to post Share on other sites
Fattwins 0 Posted March 2, 2005 Share Posted March 2, 2005 at happo we did stuff to the far skiers left of the shite gap. steep tree chute that flows out into the chutes of happo. you have never seen this stuff cb. Pillows at tsugaike oh yes we did hit triple 2 to 3meter drop lines every 3rd run or so. The best linees were the open steep south lines though sic as but that pissed off patrol big time. not easy to get into either Link to post Share on other sites
Yuki's Passion 1 Posted March 2, 2005 Share Posted March 2, 2005 thought it was the pillows afta shite gap Link to post Share on other sites
Fattwins 0 Posted March 2, 2005 Share Posted March 2, 2005 Nah Cb there were better things to ski and no snowboarder to worry about when traversing back into the way out. This place will always be a skiers place due to that Link to post Share on other sites
Dougy 0 Posted March 4, 2005 Share Posted March 4, 2005 Ducking ropes is all fine and dandy but remember that some places are closed for a reason. If you do duck ropes make sure you don't do it alone and only do it if you know what you are doing. I don't know how many times I've heard people say we went through ###### today and then watched their jaws drop when you tell them that an avalanche went through there too. Sure that's not as likely here as it is in Canada or Europe but it does happen and there are plenty of other dangers such as tree wells. A guy died in Niigata this year when he fell head first into a tree well and couldn't get out. He had just ducked a rope and was only 30m from a groomed run. So basically remember to be careful, be responsible, and if you get caught you can't argue because you know you are in the wrong, even if you think you know better. Link to post Share on other sites

Couldn't have said it better though. Always practice safe skiing/riding and make good descisions to live and ride another day. Link to post Share on other sites
