Thanks d-stick. I really do like the board and the concept. Dear Snow Japan, regarding google results: I kind of wish that didn't happen. It makes me uncomfortable. I am just a humble intermediate snowboarder using a D1, I'm not a global authority on it. Popping up as a google number 1 result gives my little opinion way too much focus and weight. I don't mind my words and thoughts being online in the google index, but I don't like that headline type of attention at all. And reviews hitting number 1 on the google results list so fast makes me feel like the personal efforts to

Hey, stinkfoot, a name change for you. The short white D1 does look very nice. Mine is on order, none have shipped yet.

At least you guys can send email+attachments with a mobile. Seamless no set up or hassles PC-to-phone-to-PC emailing actually makes a mobile phone useful. Unheard of in Oz, UK and Europe.

What 60m did you get? I recently got a dry 60m 8.5 mm double rope from Mammut. I didn't really get it for real climbing, just as a long safety line for three man teams and stuff. Where did you do the lead climbing? Outdoors? It sounds like fun.

Mate, how long did you set the timer to allow you to get back into your bindings?

In Niseko I am seeing public accommodation venues (hotels, pensions, lodges) that are pricing in Australian Dollars per night. So no matter who you are; Canadian, French, Japanese, NZ… the price for a night’s accommodation in Niseko Japan is A$100 (for example). I’m not sure if that is strange or not…. still mulling over it. I suppose it is natural to price in the currency of your target clients. In that sense AUD pricing is not so strange (although the property owners with JPY debt and operating expenses may learn a thing or two about the importance of hedging currency mismatches

Dude, I was just today reading an old thread where you talked about you punching fins out of boards. I reckon you were always a fighter.

I would like a dedicated and on-standby alpine helicopter search and rescue operation that has a landing pad at the local hospital. Does this exist?

Without so much as an introduction nor good willed bit of jabber to accompany the poll, Lets giving some free market research! hhhm, how about less foreigners buying in and trying to give Hakuba what it needs, lest we get another Niseko. Aren't you connected with Snowbeds? Who the hell do I think I am...?

Das ist gut. Moving along.... dentists are gay. I use mouth wash, pure chemical stuff so not very appealing to me. But I give it credit for really improving the condition of my teef and gums.

Now Goemon is swearing like a dock worker. >We bought a whole effing shatload of it when we found it at a store. hmmm, a happy couple buying toothpaste for the future. Cross Goemon off the list of potential candidates in the search for the true identity of Cane.

On my second day snowboarding I flopped over in some powder at the edge of the run in Japan. I tried to do a sit up to get back out and tore something in my lower abdomen. It hurt like hell. I was with two guys from this forum and was trying to keep up with them. Its still lightly herniated to this day. I have a 7 pack. I also banged up both my rotor cuffs, but I think that was from 5 days a week leaning over a desk computer more than anything. Besides a smashed face on the piste and some blood, I am have been untouched by injury.

Oh Beanie, that's grand! I'm simply thrilled for you. bastard. My brother was in Whitewater for several seasons. He liked it.

Kintaro - If you mention her (or anything) in a post and I respond to your post in the same context and show no disrespect then... too bad buddy. If you don't want someone to mention your wife then don't mention her in the first place. Its that simple. I understand your emotional motivation and am aware of the sensitivity, but you have spent all your chips by failing to afford her the privacy that you want us to show. And no disrespect to her is ever intended, I didn't bring her up and nor was I rude about her. It would be a different matter if I spouted off about her in the Grumper threa

>you're still going to be running out of air (feeling the ice mask of death forming). Actually, you wont run out of air, there is plenty of that in your cold tomb of snow. What kills you is re-breathing your expired carbon dioxide. The oxygen is there, however it is displaced by the CO2. The Avalung doesn't supply you with O2, it simply transports the expired CO2 into a space where it doesn't displace your breathing oxygen. That is why the Avalung is designed the way it is, with the breathing output area being on your back. But what's it matter, dead and blue-faced is dead an

You really are a good for nothing dog. I used Google as well and it had very little translated meaning and certainly no spirit. Ask a French boy to do a Frenchman’s job and look what he gives you. Screw you Odile (where does that come from?)

All I did was quote what you typed. If that contains the word wife... what can I do about it? If you mention something or someone on the forum, then so can anyone else when replying to your post, so long as it is respectful. In two separate posts in a week you mentioned that 'your wife wont let you'. Small guitars and coconut bra's. Go figure. Thanks for asking, I am pretty happy right now. But I do live by the rule that the happiest people are also often the most naive, its almost an attribute worth having. I think that is all off topic yet again and I don't want to be res

O11 - You can get dog panniers. I am tempted to make him start carrying his own food and other small things. Having an endowed dog is a boost for my male ego. Its why I got a male dog. SG - those depleted glaciers are at about 2700m, roughly north facing. Soub - looking forward to more when you are back in form. Plucky - where are you? This is your game.

It's just like your mini guitars! As in: 1. wife wont let you sell them in Guam (nor own a Harley) 2. they are both small (mini Harley and mini guitar) Why are you often the first guy to respond to a thread with zero useful substance, just hot air... and yet manage to mention of a stock that you own? Gee, wow! Sorry Pete. I am no better than Kintaro, got nothing to contribute on Japanese HR's. But
