you must have been on the chair behind me at Les Arcs this year.
when towing your snowboarding friend along a flat do check behind that they are not linking to other one plankers you have passed.
I have found out my limit is 4.

If God has given us two legs but you ski with only one plank you better have a damn good excuse comes judgement day.

Don't relax on the green "path" when reaching the bottom of the black run - invariably you will catch an edge at this point and make yourself look a fool!

As the snow thaws on the lower slopes the brown patches are really last years cow pats.

When taking off your skis on a slope, always take off the uphill ski first, when putting your skis back on, always put on the downhill ski first.

Try not to throw up in your ski boots... hasn't happened to me of course but did happen to a room mate once in Chamonix - had his boots toasting under the radiator by the bed, woke up suddenly and barfed directly into his prized Raichles. Made for a very amusing day.

JohnHill, you surprised me with that one - I assumed that you were going to suggest making a list of things to pack
|

You know it makes sense.

Ray Zorro, thanks for reminding me...
Never laminate your ski trip packing check list before double checking the Paul Mason-designed pre-listing relational database system.

Frosty the Snowman, Whilst in Plattieres gondola, someone whispers "look that's Michael Schumacher", everyone within hearing turns to look, just in time to see one chap slap him in the whatsits with his snowblades as he turns round It was indeed Michael Schumacher who had a somewhat pained expression !!

Not all snow balls are born equal. Some you can happily ski over, others might as well be made of concrete. These are also known as death cookies. They are called death cookies for a good reason.

NEVER, NEVER, NEVER get your boyfriend or girlfriend to teach you, it only leads to an argument.
I have learnt this the hard way, when my last GF berated me into trying to teach her, I only agreed that I would teach her until she said 'I know.' The lesson lasted less than 10 mins.
Follow Lovers advice and yourself a private lesson.

If youare wearing the old trousers with the straps that go over your shoulders use them. If you don't you are liable to get them caught on a chair lift resulting in you dangling amusingly from it when you try to dismount.
also
If you have hands so cold they are painful, run them under cold water not hot.

Running around the mountain like an idiot in the middle of the night in the snow is a great way to clean shoes.

To impress people with your skills you first need to lower their expectations of how good you really are.

JohnHill, your throwing-up in ski boots reminds me of a school ski trip when 3 of us in a room awoke in the middle of the night (after an epic drinking session) to the sight of the 4th roommate weeing in one of his boots

When you get on the easiest run of the day late in the afternoon with no-one around and a couple of inches of new snow blown in don't just open up - there may be a rut (or snowfox) below the surface (bitter experience)
