Maybe the bad guy and his dog steal them?
I must say that i am quite intrigued by the prospect of fancy dress smurfs on the ski hill, reminds me of my university ski trips. Though we seemed for some reason to end up dressed as umpa lumpas more than could be considered healthy.

I'm gonna be working for Jeff Marks. My instructors and examiners out in Banff used to work for thim there the season before last when he was head of the ski big 3 ski school.
Jeff is head of the Niseko Higashiyama Snow School - the one that started up last year.
why you ask bro? you know anyone teaching there?
Junior.
Good guy. He was the examiner on my Level 3. And it's now Niseko Village Ski School  I've taught for two winters with an Hirafu based snowsports school. Will be here for my third. Great place to instruct - snow, terrain and clientelle.

I'd say thats one slutty smurf!! I wouldn't say slutty. It wouldn't be fair for the others if she stayed with just one. She's just generous. And they all look the same anyway..

Finally getting there after talking about it for a few years. Super cold dry air drying out my nostrils as I go up the mountain in a lift. Meeting new people and learning from them. Handing out treats to lifties. Sitting by the fire reading a book with a good glass of wine. Sitting on the top of a mountain and just soaking up the view. Getting a little silly with new friends after swearing I was going home after dinner........ Taking lessons, listening and getting better. Enjoying what a new country can offer me and absorbing that.

Bravo Panhead! You've really captured the essence there.
For me: Doing my best to make the bean-counters at Kamori Ski Company regret selling me a season pass that allows me to shred Sapporo Teine on work days and Rusutsu on my days off, for only 70,000 yen.
I just can't wait. Last weekend I rode my bike up to Sapporo Teine just to gawk at the lifts and grassy slopes. I've already mentally mapped some tree runs!

Finally getting there after talking about it for a few years. ... snip ... Enjoying what a new country can offer me and absorbing that. You will NOT regret the decision! Believe me! Those two things are worth all the hassle of the dropping AUD! (That said, if there's not a resurgence soon, this might be my last trip for a while.
