- Eugene,

- I don't know if you have noticed, but there has been a large influx or
- Asian skiers in the US in the past few, 3-4, years. They have been
- primarily of Japanese descent and on the wealthy side. I was at Okemo
- in Ludlow, VT this past weekend and I saw some Japanese "tourist
- skiers" flailing on the slopes. I think that we might begin to see
- more Asians on the slopes. OFten I think it is the wealthy young
- Japanese who have money to burn, and want to see and ski America.
- Skiing in Japan is, for lack of a better word, incredible. Lines like
- you would not believe for runs that should not be called a run. Of
- course the northernmost island, Hokkaido, has good snow and I think may
- be hosting a future Olymics, but skiing on the mainland is crazy.

- just my $.02
