ok thanks. i was just curious

In that base of people involved there nationalities involved are: UK, Japan, Australia, US.

Finally sat down and read it - very interesting it was a Brit who set it up - I always thought it was a Canadian or an American.



Top read - if possible, could you interview some famous folks - maybe some pro skiiers/boarders? some resorts?

there's been interviews with some famous SJ folks and others here. there used to also be some good discussions with someone at arai

fattwins?!

famous....

what?!

SJ#1 is the one with most of the contacts at resorts, so I'm not really involved in that. But I do know that it is unfortunately not easy to get something that could be a "Feature" without it coming across as simply a promotion. There are lots of 'off-record' comments and info, but we can't really publish those!

I have met SJ1 a few times but wasn't aware of all that non-SnowJapan side of what he does. Must be a busy guy. It's interesting that they don't have to feel the pressure because of that.

How about an interview with the top ranked resort at he end of each season?

Surely that wouldn't be promotion as that is always voted for by the users of this site?

Sorry perhaps my comment was misunderstood.

What I meant was - resorts often don't want to say anything other than 'the official line', so interview like that would be dry and not include much of interest, it would just be what they want people to hear. "No comments" on the questions we might really want to ask.

Does that make sense?

We would like to do such things, but I think we'd have to find someone willing to talk!!

Ah I see now - can imagine that if they deviate away from the line then a slight rapping across the knuckles might ok.

Shame really.

Keep up the good work

SJF, I think some of the people working as GM's, guides, instructors, or seasonal workers would be interesting too.

Yes thanks, we should have a few of those coming up soon actually.

sounds good SJF - would be kinda interesting, although late now, to get a blog of an instructor for the season.

Yes, but - personally - I would see something like that quickly dropping us deep into that political soup that SJ#1 mentioned in the article.

Just got round to reading it, that was very interesting to read all that background. Thanks for all the effort that goes into this excellent site.

I think you guys do a fantastic job on all of this and I was very interested to hear that story. You deserve the success.

nice read. keep up the great work.

Thank you thank you.

Very interesting interview, really good read.

Sounds like you have a lot on there!

Must be great to create something like this and see it grow into what it is now...

It was very interesting to hear the story. It took me while to read it, my English reading is very slow!

Thank you.
