HoTRoD 2 Posted December 5, 2002 Share Posted December 5, 2002 Do you? Or always trying out new places to ride? Link to post Share on other sites
akibun 0 Posted December 5, 2002 Share Posted December 5, 2002 I have my favorites and also sometimes I try for a new place. Link to post Share on other sites
jared 0 Posted December 5, 2002 Share Posted December 5, 2002 When I go anywhere without a season pass for any length of time I'll have won the lottery. It just makes sence to go to the same place all the time to avoid paying outrages lift ticket prices. Besides, Isnt it better when you know where to look for all the good hits, powder bits and (for the want of something that rhymes) hot chicks. Link to post Share on other sites
damian 0 Posted December 5, 2002 Share Posted December 5, 2002 I honestly do not think that 5000-6000 yen for a day pass is that outrages, unless there are only two lifts and 4 runs. You can easily spend more at the pub over 3 hours. Link to post Share on other sites
Ocean11 0 Posted December 5, 2002 Share Posted December 5, 2002 I always go to the old favourites unless I'm trying out somewhere new... Unless you happen to live at the bottom of somewhere really good, you may never see full value on a season pass. I often get bored of going to Nozawa, but then when I go to other places I get annoyed at their policies and rediscover the value of Nozawa. I'd like to make Miyoko a regular place too, but it's a bit far for that. Link to post Share on other sites
jared 0 Posted December 6, 2002 Share Posted December 6, 2002 If I ski 3 days a week (I plan of 4ish) for the next 6 months my 5man pass looks pretty good compared to the 30man it would cost for lift tickets. Even if I break my leg 1\3 of the way through the season im still paying about half the 4000en pass price. Link to post Share on other sites
oo 1 Posted December 6, 2002 Share Posted December 6, 2002 A few favorites plus a bit of chance every now and again. Link to post Share on other sites
JEZx 0 Posted December 6, 2002 Share Posted December 6, 2002 Favorite few, some once-a-year places and then try to find 1 or 2 new places each year on top of that. Link to post Share on other sites
Fattwins 0 Posted December 6, 2002 Share Posted December 6, 2002 I like the little place that not too many people know about, but its got to have difficult lines and variety too. Also the cost of the pass is important as is out of bounds access. Link to post Share on other sites

scouser 4 Posted December 7, 2002 Share Posted December 7, 2002 A season pass ties you in too much to one place, and discourages adventure. That and I might not get the worth out of it anyway mean I'm not getting a season pass. I'm sure most season pass people are people living fairly near the mountains, not in Tokyo or the big cities etc. Link to post Share on other sites
IIIII 2 Posted December 8, 2002 Share Posted December 8, 2002 Few different places, but I'm hoping to try somewhere new this year. Link to post Share on other sites
Fattwins 0 Posted December 8, 2002 Share Posted December 8, 2002 Yeah there are a couple good places I know but I try to keep things quiet. They get lots of people but nobody rides in the good spots and the backcountry is great. Link to post Share on other sites
