A new interview with Mike Harris from Canyon has been put online. http://www.snowjapan.com/e/features/interviews-mike-harris.html "I first started skiing at the age of 10, at Cardona ski area in Central Otago. I was hooked instantly, but because of the costs, distance, and rugby obligations it was hard to get in much time in each season. When I hit university the government had just initiated a student loan scheme program, that myself and hundreds of other students put to good use by quickly snapping up seasons passes for Treble Cone and new ski gear." http://www.snowjapan.com/e/features/interviews-mike-harris.html Please note that the views expressed in any Features on SnowJapan are not necessarily those of SnowJapan.

Interesting character - I might have to have him take me up to the BC some time - I haven't done any BC yet.
