Poster: A snowHead
|
I am new here and write for a charity magazine, i was thinking of doing an article about skiing, as a group of readers are about to go to Germany to ski, in the blackforest i think. Anyway i was wondering if anyone would mind contributing some funny experiences they have had when skiing, that i could include in my article. Any funny stories would be welcome and if used i will change any names, but the magazine has a small membership, so there shouldnt be anything to worry about there anyway.
Heres hoping you can give me some ideas, Thanks
Ronin

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

ronin4, welcome to snowheads. One i heard second hand but that is apparently true was a group of 10 people who were on a ski instructor course in march which lasted two weeks.
These courses are pass fail and very stressfull. On the last day which happened to fall in April the course tutor mentioned that after lunch that there is a final test that all must pass to become instructors. They were handed clip boards and asked to sign and date that they understood that this test would determine their futures as ski instructors. The test had only one question which was "please demonstrate the correct method of taking off your skis and slinging them over your shoulder"
After signing and returning the clip boards each candidate instructor did the demonstration, all slightly differently and all very nervously. Fortunately all passed and afterwards the trainer asked them what day it was, which of course April Fools day

there was a good one about a group who went on a ski holiday in the Black Forest in October and found pretty autumn colours but not one flake of snow! A laugh a minute.

The arrivals bus pulls up in resort excited, all the guests rush to get off the bus. One guy didn't look, tripped off the step, slipped on the ice, fell and broke his leg. Straight back home for that guy
Unfortunate, but true (no it wasn't me)

The ski hire shop used to be upstairs at Cairngorm. I put my boots on, set off down the stairs with my skis and promptly fell down them from top to bottom taking out about ten other people.
