gamera 0 Posted February 16, 2006 Share Posted February 16, 2006 Has anyone ever tried helicopter ski? This season I have tried some new things for the first time and would like to try that one as well as it is availble at Tsugaike from March 10th. But I am kinda... acrophobia, not sure I can stay in a helicopter or not - have never ridden on one yet. Link to post Share on other sites
sava 0 Posted February 16, 2006 Share Posted February 16, 2006 I would like to but they're too expensive an advantage of the tsugaike trips is that they're single trips as opposed to requiring the purchase of a whole day Link to post Share on other sites
gamera 0 Posted February 16, 2006 Author Share Posted February 16, 2006 9,500 yen sava. I think it's worth trying to climb up to 2204 meters altitude from 900+some. Link to post Share on other sites
marnix 0 Posted February 16, 2006 Share Posted February 16, 2006 price sounds reasonable or is it like the other places where they lift 400 people up the mountain in 2 consecutive days? Link to post Share on other sites
gamera 0 Posted February 16, 2006 Author Share Posted February 16, 2006 They do max 400 ppl a day but it really depends on the weather in each day. So you can't book any beforehand. You just need to go there for receiption and see if it's available of not. Link to post Share on other sites

Lots of windows, if you've been in a car you should be fine in a Helio. A good philosophy is: you're a long time dead, so give everything a go at least once, if ya don't like it, don't do it again.
