Any snowsport people out there willing to help with my uni project AGAIN!!

[Sam]

Another boring questionaire but would muchoes apreciate it if you could fill it in 
Please change 'ski' to whatever snowsport applies to you when asking yourself the questions 

Your snowsport:

How often do you ski abroad?

Do you ski solo or in a group?

Do you tend to stick mainly to the piste or do you enjoy the off-piste experience?

If you go off-piste often, do you tend to stick near the slopes or are you more adventurous? Please elaborate if so.

How do you budget your spending money when on a ski holiday?

Does this have an impact on what you have for lunch and where you eat it?

Is eating hand-prepared food a more appealing prospect for you than eating in a restaurant? Why?

How important do you consider eating lunch when out skiing?

In the middle of a long days skiing do you like to have a good rest or are you always keen to get back on the slopes?

Do you, or anyone you’re with, carry a backpack, or any other excess equipment?

Do you have any of your own ski gear?

What brands do you tend to pick? If you rent do you have a preferred brand?

What do you think about Dyson as a brand?

Do you own any Dyson products?

Does the brand matter much to you when buying new products?

What would your reaction be if you were told Dyson were going to move into the Ski equipment market?

What sort of product areas do you think would be appropriate for Dyson to move into within this market? Would their style suit it?

How interested would you be in a food preparation aid designed by Dyson to help skiers such as yourself have a cheaper, more personal and relaxed lunch when up the mountain?

With regards to food preparation at the top of your mountain, what sort of foods do you think would be most appropriate for this situation?

Obviously this would be a portable product, would you find it much of a hindrance carrying something around in a backpack specifically for your lunch?

Cheers!
