Looks sick beanie ... Face shots! Ohhhhhh yeahhhhhh.

You are leaving Japan BP???

SJ1, are you out there???

Hi, Doing some research on the winter sports industry. I wondered if anyone had details/stats on ski resorts (visitors numbers, sales, size of market, market shares etc.) as well as on the ski goods market (same info needed) and snow sports retailers. I remember SJ putting out seasonal starts in the past but I cant seem to find any recent data on the site. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Cheers, NPM

To pass level 1 it is the only way, CB. Grammar first then comprehension. What do you reckon Bushy?

And where DO you work Heather???

Looks excellent DB.

How important is it to work long hours and stay late??? Even in a foreign company ... You see some people working weekends etc. and most bosses are happy that these people are "working hard", rather than being unhappy that the "dont have a life". If you were someone's boss would you prefer to have your staff working until the wee hours or would you rather they have a life, work hard but not ridiculously hard, and be happy and not constantly tired?

I am guessing FT will say ... Nesiko???

What do you do Roger???

Good. Thanks for the info folks.

Does anyone know the date for this year's festival? I know it is held on Jan 15th each year but next year it will be a Monday so I wonder if they change it to the Saturday night, 13th Jan. Any info is greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Get a car beav-o.

When is the deadline for sending in these photos SJ???

Gnarly dude ... from what I have seen on the net and in mags recently I really do agree with your equation above. One factor you did not consider is the pimple VS mountain factor, but that may complicate your nice, simple equation above.

>Quote: stevo "You can get crabs in Niseko" ... You can get anything in Niseko these days, including STDs it seems! I hope you are cured of the crabs now stevo.

God am I glad that I am not going to Niseko ever ever again.

BPG and BP have separate beds??? I didn't know that BP was so old!!!

Is this guy for real?!?!

If you had just cropped the shot db Kuma would never even have picked that up ...

Look at the D80 diz. It is excellent! I have the D70 which I think Kuma and Bushy have too. Highly recommended as well and you might still be able to get a cheap deal on one as the D80 has not hit the shops.

Just like POSH SPICE'S one, only smaller ... and the best thing is that db isn't going to be online very often now so we can pay him out all day long!!!

Get it right Serre. He would have been in his all black CHANEL cat suit!

Yeah, I am not a fan. I like more simple stuff myself in good colours.

Tsonda, Bushy ... do your girlfriends snowboard as well? Scooby ... I think BPG is like the BFG but instead of being "friendly" (F) she is "polite" (P). Or maybe it just could be BushPigGirl!? (Wink) I have no plans yet and my girlfriend hasn't been snowboarding in maybe 5 years. I would love to be on the mountain over New Years, especially in Nozawa, somewhere I have meant to get to for years but haven't yet got to. I guess the village and resort is crowded at that time though?!
