Agree. What's the little wood box with top / bottom on top of the press do?

Bones

Directly proportional to cost of trip / skiing.

Magseven, pics please. Climbing yotei when no (not much) snow is definitely something I want to do. Awesome. Hope you get good weather too!

Snow junky, Good to hear you recovered your contour on insurance. Did it get questioned? I have heard a few stories now about people losing go pros and such, spending hours searching for them. If you don't mind me asking, how was the contour attached? I have been toying with idea of buying a camera eg go pro or contour or similar but not convinced with setup, on a pole or attached via a sticker. Maybe slr would be the go? Sounds like a new topic, not trying to hijack thread, so let me know.

Nice pics SJ . Thanks

Last pair I had were briko brand, brought in Japan after trying a lot of Google's on and being very frustrated with fogging issues with an old pair - I think dragons. The brikos performed well but were left on heater too long and lenses warped and probably too old They looked even more like diving goggles than ski goggles - definitely not high in the cool stakes especially combined with a helmet. We brought some smith heiresses for the wife at the time after also fitting a lot, they were popular then and performed well but they too are fogging now. Do all new goggles fit better new o

For those who have the the eg 2s, do you ride wearing a helmet? If so, are the eg 2s OK? I know there size is a plus re vision but what about fitting with a helmet?

Have just invested in some smith io's. They get good reviews online as do oakley - hope they perform as they were (I believe) pricey but may be if I didn't stack they wouldn't fog up. Took a bit of a punt with fit with head/ helmet. Have bought a few cheapies from aldi to compare but will be carrying a spare pair. One word of advice - dont leave them too close/ long on heater at lunch or end of day. The lenses may warp and you could be making an offering to the snow gods.

Boots. Reminds me of Chitose Airport. The Japanese girls do wear them well. & Well done Mr. Wiggles for bringing it back on topic

1997 - however I reckon the pose was for a more traditional / old school Austrian alpine feel which could make it feel like it was taken a lot earlier.

Ryuoo ski park?

Also heard bananas should be avoided unless your training for marathons. To do with natural sugar content which is a bigger because I don't mind bananas but I suppose alright if your training big

you can bicep curl 40kgs?! You must have arms like tree trunks! And 380kgs......do u mean lbs? Or are you built like Arnold Schwarzenegger ? My thoughts too. Must be massive!

Too much carbs / not enough protein but that food tastes good. Like a good burger but not Maccas.

With the talk re: burgers and food it got me thinking about diet which is important part when trying to get rid of the jelly belly. I recently scanned through a health/lifestyle video and the general gist was a high protein / low carb diet combined with exercise. I have been trying this diet with an approach of trying to eat healthy re: unprocessed foods , cutting down on sugar (which was described as white death in video) and without too many treats. In the video they gave three examples for a healthy protein breakfast -eggs on toast, turkey meat on toast, and another cold meat on toast. Not

If you find a better deal Chriselle. Could you please let me know too? Thanks in advance. Also, not sure about how to pm or do you get those details when I quoted your post?

Not windy - thats a relief

Voted for last 2 weeks of Jan. It has been very reliable in past but have been later in season eg late Feb early march and was still good and less crowded. A few more clear days in the mix for late Feb / March.
