gerard 6 Posted December 6, 2006 Share Posted December 6, 2006 Best thing is to spend top dollar for top quality. You never regret it. (the ski boots, EBC) Link to post Share on other sites
eskimobasecamp 0 Posted December 6, 2006 Share Posted December 6, 2006 yeh i know it's so true, especially with boots, compared to other things you could buy. i moved away from touring boots and started looking at downhill boots, but then tried on these top of the line touring boots and they were great, and thought about how pissed i'd be if my leg is ok to hike in march/april/may/june and i didn't have these amazing light boots which let me walk up easier. i also want to ski park this year, and i don't know how touring boots will be in the park? seems a bit strange?! and these boots are 78,000 yen... though i'm sure i can push him down a bit, but still?!!!!!!!!!!

Fattwins 0 Posted December 6, 2006 Author Share Posted December 6, 2006 you dont need the top of the line garmonts. Dont go rushing into buying anything like that its a waste of money. If i knew you were going rush out the door to rapies in a panic I would have told you no. If you rush to ski on your leg in these types of conditions you are just going to re-injure yourself. Stay off your leg, shop around this weekend, And keep re-habing it. USe your head or your whole season is going to be wasted and your money. Link to post Share on other sites

USe your head or your whole season is going to be wasted and your money. yeh i totally know this too - i won't ski on saturday in shit conditions, i'm in no rush, i have to work on my leg more - and i don't need top of the line touring boots when i have an injury in recovery, they are way too expensive and yes i don't need them. i was going in to rapies anyway, and not to try on boots, i just ended up trying them on. i'm not paying 78,000 yen for boots, that's just crossing the line into the insane, i'll pay money for gear, but not that much. if all i did was tour and i was more experienced, then maybe. but i don't and i'm not, and i don't want to ski park wearing boots specific for something else. don't worry, i'm going to matsumoto this weekend to shop around the garmonts were nice tho, but NOOOOO.

eskimobasecamp 0 Posted December 6, 2006 Share Posted December 6, 2006 no the sun it out but a little fell last night Link to post Share on other sites
Fattwins 0 Posted December 6, 2006 Author Share Posted December 6, 2006 good cause you can get cheaper stuff for touring than that. I really think you shouldnt ski though untill you can punch your leg. If you are afraid to punch your leg then you shouldnt be skiing. You are going to fall, you are going to bang or pull something. Better to Ski later than not at all. Dont even consider it untill after Xmas or thereabouts as you will get good training from your friends that are rocking up. Link to post Share on other sites
Oyuki kigan 0 Posted December 6, 2006 Share Posted December 6, 2006 So what conditions are people anticipating for the weekend? Rocks? Slush? rain? Link to post Share on other sites
eskimobasecamp 0 Posted December 6, 2006 Share Posted December 6, 2006 bushes, grass, maybe a few rocks.... and it looks like i'm not going near it, FT is right. ps - i'd rather not punch my leg full stop, my physio goes hard on it, really hard, it hurt on monday during an hour of massage.

Oyuki kigan 0 Posted December 6, 2006 Share Posted December 6, 2006 Which hill is everyone thinking about going to? Happo? 47? Link to post Share on other sites
Fattwins 0 Posted December 6, 2006 Author Share Posted December 6, 2006 Happo Oyuki. 47 wont have much open actually its japan so there wont be too many rocks. Link to post Share on other sites
Oyuki kigan 0 Posted December 6, 2006 Share Posted December 6, 2006 If my car is repaied by then, i will see you all Saturday morning. If it isn`t repaired, i will take my tricycle out of storage and see you there anyways. Link to post Share on other sites
AK 77 0 Posted December 6, 2006 Share Posted December 6, 2006 IF happo is worth going to this weekend, how much will the day passes be now? You said 47 had not much now, but Goryu is open right? Link to post Share on other sites
eskimobasecamp 0 Posted December 6, 2006 Share Posted December 6, 2006 i think like 3500 yen for a day pass or something Link to post Share on other sites
Oyuki kigan 0 Posted December 6, 2006 Share Posted December 6, 2006 the website for Happo says 3600 yen until Dec 22nd. Link to post Share on other sites
Fattwins 0 Posted December 6, 2006 Author Share Posted December 6, 2006 the stuff that 47 will access will be crap. there upper mountain doesnt compare to happo. that said an odd rail might be up. Been very cold as well even with the sun so the snow has not melted. Link to post Share on other sites
AK 77 0 Posted December 6, 2006 Share Posted December 6, 2006 I know that Happo is higher so this early snow may only be worth skiing there, but it may also NOT be worth 3600 to ski early season patchy stuff, so I'll wait and see. I will probably buy my 47/Goryu season pass this weekend (if i'm paid on Friday) so if it's a bit crappy in Happo and Goryu, i'll chose the latter even if it's worse there, as it won't be costing me anything more. Does that make sense? maybe. If it hasn't melted much and there is decent off piste worth playing on, then i'll buy a Happo pass. Link to post Share on other sites
Kumapix 0 Posted December 6, 2006 Share Posted December 6, 2006 i went to 47 & goryu last year early season and man, is it boring. the goryu runs are flat Link to post Share on other sites
eskimobasecamp 0 Posted December 6, 2006 Share Posted December 6, 2006 AK why did you decided to buy the 47 pass again? At one point it was definitely a throw up between the JTB and the Happo pass... and now you are going to get a pass for the most crowded weekend resort? Steep lines, but patrol patrol patrol... come ride the pow at Happo this season Link to post Share on other sites
