Hokkaidough SJ'er with 500+ posts Registered: Sun Dec 07 2003 Posts: 519 Loc: Hokkaidough	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.

I hope it has snowed by then $;\)$ I'd like to see that book looks omoshiroi. _________________________ I make up for it with cunning and guile.

white-void SJ'er with 300+ posts Registered: Tue Apr 23 2002 Posts: 301 Loc: Saitama	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?
