Both questions have their merits

But why?

and to think that I thought that roughage was an energetic pursuit one could get up to with a significant other (or local hottie) in the privacy of your own place...

Oh god, is that something else I'm gonna have to do? Twittering...

Ugggh...

Double espresso please

Yeah, right from the beginning!

Would you believe posting?

True. Except for the boiling water part.

Nasty!

Not many resorts offer morning tickets and most half day tickets don't cost anywhere near half the price. I haven't seen a points or coupon system that works either - a half days skiing using these products would cost more than a full day pass. These products only really suit a few runs, such as back country access and the like. The smaller resorts in Japan have far less offerings, but then they are often so cheap it isn't an issue (to me). It is the bigger more expensive resorts in Japan and other places I've skied that I'm commenting on. I think the crux of the issue is value for

A few years ago I did winter seasons at both Fernie and Big White. The trade in season's tickets was rife. Lifties at both resorts were paid a bonus to bust people, although the risk of becoming a social pariah stopped most of them. The management of Fernie went to considerable lengths to bust people. There were a number of stories circulating about management setting up "Honey Pot" style stings targeting both buyers and sellers.

The lack of choice or reasonable pricing, particularly for morning tickets, has stopped me skiing before. Normally I do whole days, but there is always a few times where you only want to ski for part of a day. This is especially true of the expensive resorts.

Hehehe, that little number was ripped off from the Mac world... Their Wifi thing had the show typed characters ages ago. I wish XP had it. A little trick if you have to type long passwords - like Wifi ones often are, is to type it into an editor (notepad, word, etc) then cut and paste it into the password box. Gareth, I hope you are password protecting that word document! Not that the default protection is very good, but better than nothing...

overcast and warm. 10 degrees. 15 yesterday. Where has winter gone?

Forget about the last one. Yay 800!

I am completely surprised that this has been going on for so long. It will be a very interesting time when the snow melts. I hope it doesn't come to that. My thoughts go out to the family, the waiting must be very traumatic.
