Soft Snow... NOT

Ok so last night I was softening to the idea of skiing again. but... But... BUT

I went to some training this morning (where they had Krispy Kremes) and I saw a lady on crutches that looked like she was in a lot of pain.

She was right next to me when someone asked (ok so thats this is why I overheard someone else's conversation kinda disclaimer) how she'd been injured. she said she severed her achilies tendon skiing. I thought oh ya on the back side of some double black diamond named the wall at whistler or some such... she continued "I was trying to be 'good' on the bunny slope". so No.

This leads me back to the inescabable conclusion that going up a hill via a machine that will impart so much potential energy on you and strapping something (anything really) to your feet that really drops your coefficent of friction and then pointing these things down the hill so you go and then just keep turning to save you life. turn... turn... turn... turn or DIE... you must turn or die.

so no. I say it again.... NO.
