Hey Guys,

So we may have ducked a little rope somewhere at the top. ha.

But there were alot of tracks and stuff. But the Ski Patrollers were being pretty unreasonable we just told them we cut threw some trees and ended up there. But they didn’t want a bar of it. So they took our passes off us for 4 or 5 days.

Just got it back today so pretty stoked to shred again.

Cheers for filling us in Shaun.

At least you got your passes back. Thought it may have been cos you were creating dangerous amounts of spray or something stupid like that haha

That is Great!! Love the Cops intro

Duck a rope… looked like you jumped it at the beginning! grin

But yeah - totally worth it!

When we lost our passes at Happo we tried to argue that there was a ‘gate’, sooo many tracks and the ropes were set up poorly that there was a large person sized gap in the rope.

Best thing about that token system in Japan - they pretty much can only ban you for the day.

Why did they even have the area roped off in the first place?????

It looked like a perfect area to shred!!!!!

I noticed there were heaps of tracks too, so how many people had their passes taken off them that day?!

 

yeh it was more of a jump then a duck. haha.

but yeh there was alot of tracks. and then we seen people coming down the same spot when we were talking to the ski patrollers but they just said to us that they must have come from a different spot.
i think they just had it in for us.

ozgirl- thanks for the love on the intro.

Mizu Kuma- they had it roped off cause Avalanches in the area are super bad atm becuase of the snowpack. but we know what we r doing it was never gonna slide where we were the ski patrollers were just dooche bags.

The best part with ski patrollers is that they can’t hold you against your will. They aren’t cops and if they physically touch you it could be claimed as assault. Especially if you have video of it.

Just walk off and not talk to them lol.
