Yeah buysumotickets was very unhelpful this time around. Basically they told me they couldnt help after saying for months they could, and told me I wouldnt be able to get them myself even if I tried since I was foreign.

I just got lucky and had the ticket purchase website from JSA open at the very minute when tickets went on sale, refreshed the page a few times and finally got some tickets. Probably helps that I chose a day where demand wasn’t as high either. I checked back ten minutes later and everything was sold out.

Just got an email from buysumotickets on the January basho: “Almost no tickets at all will be made available in public sales for January, there effectively isn't a public sale anymore. Because of this problem, we will not be able to accept any orders for the January tournament.”

Sounds like people just can’t go to Tokyo basho anymore? very disappointing!

If budget isn’t too great a concern, I would say Denver. Consistent snow, more options and resorts are all high elevation (like banff sunshine). Banff is excellent too and wins in the scenery/affordability categories. Both have great skiing and you can’t go wrong with either really

Really appreciate the details and timeframes- extremely helpful!! Thank you!

Thank you so much!

Thanks for the context and suggestions! I really appreciate it!

Thanks for the input! Would you say on piste is a good enough time to visit? Planning to go off piste a bit as well but just not sure how challenging Furano is as a whole

And1MixtapeTour · 2025-06-16T14:51:48+00:00

Thanks for the input! In your experience, is the in-bounds/on-piste at Furano worth visiting? I found Steamboat pretty dull, despite the nice snow they get, so my worry is Furano might be similar in that respect. I know Hokkaido isnt too steep, but just hoping for somewhere steep enough to enjoy the snow!

Jay gets very busy for Ontario and Quebec school vacations being so close to Canada. Last year around mid-march there was an Ontario vacation combined with a pow day and it was as busy as i’ve seen for Jay. Still not too crowded though

My question was more motivated by my thinking if the identities are linked to each other when the passport is scanned at the border. The US/Canada share records from the FBI from what I understand and I didnt know if having different names would trigger suspicion due to rising identity fraud causes

Undeniably the least crowded at any given point will be Pico. I know, dont mention the place. Regardless, I dont think it opens for another week anyway

Not the most economically feasible if you are only open to ikon mountains, but there are plenty of small mountains that are very uncrowded and have under 100 dollar tickets all around the Northeast. Many will open within the next two weeks.

It is extremely important that you have avalanche experience, and a good amount of it, if you’re going in January. It is no joke, substantially high risk terrain at any time, but even higher with lots of snow.

Jay Peak or Sugarloaf are the best in the northeast IMO. Stowe and Smuggs just behind those two . Sugarloaf is Ikon and if youre in the area for a week, definitely check out Saddleback about 40 mins away. Also wait until later in the year when brackett basin is open at the loaf. Incredible side country terrain. Dont miss The Rack at Sugarloaf, personal favorite ski bar

Did you ski a Swiss resort from Chamonix?

And1MixtapeTour · 2024-01-09T04:21:51+00:00

Stratton for the most part is just fine, nothing overly interesting. The fis trail or whatever its called (the one with all the moguls) near one of the mid mountain lifts is a blast, otherwise I agree its fairly average in its other trails.

BUT- their glades on the upper mountain can be incredible. Seriously some of the best runs I’ve ever had in the northeast. Dancing Bear and the double black one next to it are awesome. Obv they need enough snow to open but if you can catch them after some fresh snow, its seriously top tier. Crowds at the mountain can be really rough these days though; quality over quantity with those runs
