Be Smart; Spend Money On Ski Clothing Rather Than Actual Skiing Gear
Skiing can be a cruel sport and probably something more suited to people who are extremely comfortable falling down mountain peaks the height of Mount Everest while wearing two pieces of board that can get one up to near the speed of light before crashing headlong into a tree. Look good in ski clothing and look bad while trying to ski and it, meaning buy good-looking clothing but rent the instruments of death otherwise known as ’skis.’
Think about things for a minute; Alpine skiing usually involves careening like a madman down the slope and on Alpine skiing equipment that costs literally hundreds and even thousands of dollars. Now; most ski resorts rent that stuff and at a price that’s bound to be less than the three-month hospital stay that usually occurs after improper Alpine skiing is done by folks who have no business on slick wooden boards and snow.
And that’s why it’s probably the smartest idea of all to just rent a pair of skis and by all of that high-tech and very good-looking clothing. Looking good versus being good should went out every time, and besides; who’s really going to care if — while looking good — every skier on the mountain is laughing uproariously while the good-looking skier is tumbling down a bunny slope?
So ponder on why it’ll be smart to spend a few bucks on a black sport watch to match all of that high-tech ski clothing. At the least, it’ll chime when it’s time for happy hour and one can leave the cruel torture of the bunny slope that all the little kids ski down to head over to the clubhouse to receive the cheers that is one’s due after braving some of the most challenging slopes (not) in the world.
Much of this obsession with skiing is also why it’ll be a pretty smart idea to get a black helmet for wear while tumbling (which is actually the word that should be substituted for ’skiing, ‘ in most peoples’ cases) down a slope; it’ll hide all the dents that one took to the noggin while running into other skiers and more than a few trees. The ski patrol will certainly be appreciative, at least.
There’s really no deep secret to skiing as long as one understands that it’s a sport designed to get a human as close as possible to the speed of light while wearing funny looking footboards designed to not handle icy, frozen white water crystals very well. The sport certainly seems to have been designed by some cruel god more interested in torturing the little humans through skiing than anything else, sad to say.
In the end, it’s probably best to spend the bucks buying good-looking clothing that’ll also look good at the clubhouse while all of that rental ski gear sits outside, collecting ice and snow while the hot toddies are being poured inside. What’s the point of going to a ski resort, after all, if the only thing to do is to ski?
