  1. did a bit of wine tasting in france myself earlier this year..... found an region between Beaune and Dijon called cote d'0r. they have some pretty killer whites. bought a few bottles back with me.... or course they have vanished now.... wasnt diciplined enough to cellar. of course we were buying them out of the caves for anywhere up to 20 euro they did get much dearer than that..... but it was like pouring silk down your throat!!! also like a beaujoulais too, a classic light red.... but there are some nasties out there! unforunately it is very difficult to come accross foreign wine here in oz... mainly because they cant compete with price (import duties) and i think that aussies are just so used to the taste of their vino's...... euro wines tending to be quite light in taste (just like their beer). \:D

  2. was a snowboarding nut ( i guess just like us!) friend of mine living in tokyo.... not sure what his source was.....

     

    but think about it.. japan has around 600 resorts and 130 million people... that is a pretty big customer base. and jimbocho is pretty mega!!

     

    anyone out there ever seen any snowsport goods selling distict anywhere else in the world?? guess i should have aked that in a new thread huh?!?!

  3. nah i gotchya first time round nige, tried to send your a personal message yesterday through sjg but it obviously didnt work out!!

     

    yeah heading back to niseko @ the end of jan for another 3 weeks! cant wait, this f**king heat is getting to me!!

     

    snurfer.... got a great pic from the alpen ridge at night with Mr yotei exposed!!! i remember you were riding with me when i took it an you always said to let you know how it turned out..... well it worked! i can scan it in at high res. if you like and e-mail it on my address is andrew45@hotmail.com

     

    hope to hear from you and nige...... oh you guys still in touch with luke the made keen tele dude..... always wondered where he got to after a debaucherous night in sapporo

  4. yeah, i know mudguts... paris can be like that. been there 3 times and i too have had bad experiences there, got done for fair evasion on the subway (=40 euro), had a big black security guard in a dodgy supermarket flash his gun at us just to let us know he was watching us (very scary at the time). but you gotta admit there is something about the place.....

  5. Well i would have to pick Thredbo (nsw. Australia) As my favorite. the resort would be considered a world class one if it got more than the average 2m of snowfall a year. the terrain is definately awesome and is a wicked resort after a biiig dump (only happens once a season on average). but it is also one to leave till later in the season (aug. early sept.) when the coverage is there and you dont have to worry about troweling your shiny deck!!
