rach 1 Posted December 22, 2006 Share Posted December 22, 2006 Very interesting read. Some people get all the good 'work' to do. I wonder how much Niseko has changed since 2001? Link to post Share on other sites
1 4 Posted December 22, 2006 Share Posted December 22, 2006 Good stuff. I've seen the book, a friend has it. It is excellent, definitely want to win this one. I'm totally jealous, some of those experiences must have been incredible. Link to post Share on other sites
Hokkaidough 4 Posted December 22, 2006 Share Posted December 22, 2006 Looks like a great book that. 48 countries. Rather more impressive than my count-on-one-hand efforts. Interesting to see his comments about people getting out of booming ski towns. Link to post Share on other sites

2pints-mate 0 Posted December 23, 2006 Share Posted December 23, 2006 Nice one schinken. I hope you landed on snow. We'll be in Nozawa early February. I hope it has snowed by then I'd like to see that book looks omoshiroi. Link to post Share on other sites
white-void 0 Posted December 23, 2006 Share Posted December 23, 2006 Quote: Any time the powder is deep and I am with one or more good friends who love skiing as much as I do. Those are the greatest moments - the combination of the exhilarating feeling of skiing deep powder and sharing it with a kindred spirit. I don't think I have as much deep powder experience as Jimmy, but totally understand and agree with the sentiment. Now. Where's the snow? Link to post Share on other sites
69 5 Posted December 24, 2006 Share Posted December 24, 2006 Thanks for that, very interesting to read about people like Jimmy as much as I am rather envious of them. Would love to see the book. Link to post Share on other sites
