Replying to Things that make you go Hmmmmmmmm

I have plans, big plans! But aside from the Pub Crawl in 2 weeks. Orooooooooooooo!

I intend on doin'a bit of skiing. I'm new to all this since the snow ain't be fallin' where I live. So I moved down south to Dunedin, New Zealand. I was after some advice on what gears' to get hooked up with. Should I buy some gear or hang out for a while. Cause I will be in the USA by November to get some dough and checkout the snow. Cheers doods.
