I' just bought this new Burton snowboard. Where am I going to use it? Anywhere I can.
Stay warm this winter by dancing in front of a hot stove.

I'm buying skis and boots and a bag to carry them in too! I'll use them mostly in Japan
but hopefully in New Zealand and Europe too - and probably in my living room. My three
tips for staying warm are hot wine, hot baths and hot women!

I'm going to buy these goggles and some ski boots, but I don't know yet where I'm going to
use them. The best way to stay warm when it snows is to drink sake and eat nabe.

As the mercury drops and the snow starts sweeping south from Siberia, Tokyoites are
getting ready to head for the hills for their taste of the white stuff. This is Japan, and
you gotta look the part as you plow down the piste. Our roving reporter caught up with a
few of you getting kited out to look hot, stay warm and ski cool this season. What are you
buying, where are you going and how are you gonna beat the big chill this winter?

I'm buying these new-style curved skis to take to Nagano. The best way to stay warm during
the ski season is to keep yourself plied with sake.

These new gloves are going to keep my hands warm when I go skiing in Gunma Prefecture just
as soon as the snow comes. I keep warm by going jogging.
