[Helmet vs ski racing helmet]

Thanks.

 

I have been looking at some and frankly lost. The Wing Race Graphics one (Uvex) looks good and seems to be good - but whether that means good for me i don't really know. Must research more.

 

Any good model recommendations for someone like me - decent skier but nothing too dangerous.

 

[Helmet vs ski racing helmet]

This may be a daft question but can someone tell me what the difference is between a 'helmet' and a 'ski racing helmet', other than the latter looking cooler?

 

If I'm not a racer, should I be getting the normal one.

 

Forgive the question.

 

Thanks

[Targets (number of days on the snow)]

So, got an early target? What be it?

[Season's first snow??]

 

Good to hear all that.

[Cho-yummy things]

[What are you reading?]

A World Without Bees

 

"If climate change doesn't get you, the disappearance of the honeybee will"

 

Couldn't put it down, read it over two days.

[Good movies you've seen recently]

Rock Star. Entertaining.

[what's everybody listening to now?]

Kate Bush - Ariel

 

Good stuff.

[Good movies you've seen recently]

Yeah I thought the same, if they had sorted the end part out it would have been a really good flick. Nothing beats Alien / Aliens in that kind of movie. (Let's forget a bit about Alien 3 and a lot about Alien 4)

[Shaun The Sheep]

Shaun is a big hit with the kids where I work.

[How many times then?]

9 days on 3 trips - two to Nozawa and one to Myoko.

[How did you come up with your Nickname?]

Pon farr is a condition that induces the desire to mate in an adult Vulcan. Although Vulcans live strictly by the dictates of logic, their veneer of civilization is ripped away from them during pon farr, every seven years (for males; an undisclosed interval for females) of their adult life. Once triggered, Vulcans must have sexual contact with someone, preferably their mate, or else face insanity and death. Vulcans are, however, also capable of engaging in sexual relations at any time they wish; it is only during pon farr that they must mate (or die).

 

So now you know.

[Best resort in Yuzawa are for beginners]

And simiar to the Hakuba one, which do people think is the best resort in the Yuzawa area for beginners?

 

Thank you!

[What is this fella?]

I saw an inoshishi in gunma last week near Kawaba. Three of them in fact. Funny little things they are - looked like they were trotting along in a bad mood, shame I didn't have my camera with me because they were really close. Moody are you Bushpig?

[Best place in Hakuba for beginners]

Hi, I have a few friends coming over and they want to try some skiing and I'm planning on maybe Hakuba as the place to go. Can you peeps in the know let me know which resort you feel is maybe best for complete beginners?

 

(I heard that Tsugaike might be the best one in the area for beginners)

 

Thanks
