The whole logic of this sport being
labeled "fun" escapes me. In the first
place, broken legs, bruised rears and
frostbite are common occurrences on
any ski slope. The only thing that
wasn't common on my ski trip was me
staving on my feet.
My friends ranged in skill from
expert skiers to people who would have
to rejearn to walk after trying once. I
don't have to tell you where I fell on
this scale.
Still, I had a good time for the most
part, since most of my trip was spent
talking to women in the equipment
room while trying to get my ski boots
on. This is harder than you think when
you can't bend at the waste.
There were a few women in the lodge
and I had to fight them off with lines
such as "hi."
I asked the woman who rented skis if
anyone had ever been killed here. She
said no, but not to let that discourage
me. I checked my skis real close.
The one thing that really bothered
me was the number of safety tip signs

me.
