*Appreciate this is slowly changing.
I like a beer, glass of wine, whisky as much as the next man but I virtually never drink while skiing,
Love some of the thoughts on the thread though.

Diesel engine fumes in cold weather. Something about the smell, maybe it's the cold-weather blend? Gets me every time.

I’m one of those sados with little to no imagination.
Nothing reminds me of skiing except skiing itself.

Seeing the resort fridge magnets I've put on the communal fridge in work.

My name is dode and I have a problem.
My house is adorned in ski posters and I have wallpapered a chunk of it in piste maps.
Still never owned more than 1pr of skis at a time tho… it’s not like I’m some kind of addict, with a problem!!!
And love to help out and answer questions and of course, read each other's snow reports.

So your problem is?
I wallpapered a half wall in my bathroom with Ordnance Survey maps of part of the Scottish Highlands. It just happens that when you are on the loo, at near eye level are both West coast ski resorts. Pure chance of course, as I tell my wife.
So if you're just off somewhere snowy come back and post a snow report of your own and we'll all love you very much

My downstairs khazi is also wallpapered with pistemaps. I think its a default SH theme.
There are also some stickers in there from Kicking Horse saying "Hoof Hearted" and one from Whistler stating that "We Love Big Dumps"... Dead classy at Chez Sideways.
You know it makes sense.

Over a number of years, whenever in France I hoovered up postcards of the vintage skiing posters. Four to a frame, they sit on my walls going up the stairs.

My husband picked up some framed vintage skiing pictures at an antiques fayre. They're on the landing.
And there was me keeping pristine copies of piste maps of resorts we've visited ready to frame and display when we've done the extension, thinking I was weird.

There's a lot of tracks, either from listening to it while skiing or from a ski movie. This is from both, originally I heard it in Supervention but it's also one of my favourites for the end of a day, skiing a last run as the sun sets
My house is built on a hillside so you enter in the living room and go downstairs to the bedrooms, where aside from me there are the wife and two daughters. So at the top of the stairs I have a Lake Louise trail sign “Ladies Downhill”.

Bachs Mass in b minor, John Elliot Gardiner. On uni ski trips the coach journey went on and on. I'd usually have listened to it twice before we had got to Bourg.

I've kept piste maps from almost everywhere I've been over the last 35 years. Particularly interesting comparing 'then and now' re lifts. Nothing wrong with being weird!
@Layne, we filled a few frames with old passes to also stick on the wall. The older ones with passport pics on them work best for this.

Have my background on my phone rotating different nature shots. Love when it cuts to a picture from the piste and trying to work out where it is and then get all excited for the season ahead.
