Details on snow trip please!
I have to live vicariously through everyone else for another 5 months.

I can claim a much worse snow drought. My eldest daughter, now 13, had her 3rd birthday in the Alps last time I was skiing..

Didn't Guy Harding offer to flow test the Seat core if someone can provide him with one?? Might be a bit of stuffing about to make it happen but if time permits would certainly put some of that argument to rest.

Well it's only been 4 years since the greatest 12 month stint ever in Whistler, Canada. Man I miss that lifestyle. Having to eventually grow up and now being responsible for running a company with over 100 staff is making me grey, old and bitter I need this little break more than you know as I'm about to uncontrollably loose my s*ht on a few select halfwits making life a constant drain at work. End rant

Clay off to Hakuba in Japan for some winter fun! They do it right over there with snowboarding all day then off to soak the weary muscles in a hot spring then some warm sake and amazing food to end the day Wanna come lol.

My sister lives over there in Vail, Colorado. She keeps inviting me to come over there and I would have a free place to stay. Thing is i dont like the cold lol. Sounds like it would be heaven for some of you guys.
When she comes back for a visit, I will see if she can bring some things from ECS for me

I haven't been to Hakuba, did Niseko and Zao and i do agree about the day on the slopes then finish in a hot bath/spring.
I believe Gareth_oau is going to Hakuba next year.

Apparently the snow has been super heavy over there so far this season so it should be a blast.


Will be interesting to see how the seat intercooler goes at Happy Laps as i believe it is long enough for heatsoak to set in.

Some great snow in Colorado from what I hear Troy. Trust me I can't stand the cold either but with all the gear on it's fine! I think the coldest it got on the mountain was -30 wind chill which did totally suck I will admit. But there is nothing like B-lining straight down a crazy steep black run on a huge snow covered mountain in the Rocky's. Not even a sub 10 second turbo You gotta try it.

Yeah hope we get some good powder while we're there!

Sean - I fly out first thing tomorrow morning and gauging Jimmy's current work load I'm not sure if he has time. I will ask though!

Turning in under brakes up the inside of someone at a corner like Lukey Heights on a motorcycle is better (but it is a bit more dangerous). This psycho (the one in the video) will attest to that!
But double blacks at warp speed is a close second - especially with air time . I do LOVE Colorado, espcially Aspen (Highlands and Ajax have fantastic terrain).
