Got a bit of a chalfont problem and heading off in two weeks so any advice? Does altitude affect them? Any recommended ointments? A mate has suggested soaking a hessian cloth in concentrated bleach and giving them a good, hard rub. He says it does wonders for his dad's farmers. His dad has locked in syndrome, fully conscious put unable to move or communicated in any way. They know it must work for his dad due to the tears of relief coming from his eyes while they administer the treatment.

They sometimes explode with the differential pressure gradients.
Probably a good idea to wear red salopettes if you're easily embarrassed.

Make sure they are tucked away when riding button lifts. Wouldn't want them to get caught as you disengage.

Cut a hole in your salopettes in the appropriate area.
Go commando.
Ski switch at high speed in a racing tuck until the wind burn freezes them.
Give Swiss Army knife to very close friend to remove them.
Buy new salopettes.

You'd probably be better off snowboarding, as the wider stance will give your plymouths a bit more lebensraum.
All that 2 plank, hip-wiggling stuff will be like a work out with the Chaf-o-matic 3000, especially if you get interference from your jacobs when you sit down on chair lifts.

You make it sound like the dark ages. Things have moved on enormously. These days, it's an attachment for a Dremel and sulphuric acid, followed by a course of leeches.

The problem skiing with a fully developed rack of Nurembergs is that the cold causes them to suffer what doctors call 'gelida uvae pallium suum'. Experts at the Swiss 'Beerenklinik' Foundation recommend 'on-mountain heating'.
Their preferred method is chemical heating, and specifically the application of environmentally friendly capsaicin oil. Neat Capsaicin oil is expensive and hard to come by, so a cheap and readily available alternative is chilli sauce (the bottled variety, not the stuff that Akmet pours on your kebab!).
For a mild affliction they recommend child strength sauce, such as Choluha, through Nando's Mild, Frank's 'Wing' sauce, Sriracha, and for worst case scenarios Encona Carolina Reaper. (They recommend avoiding McIlhenny's Tobasco because of the unfavourable chilli to vinegar ratio.)
For atmospheric pressure reasons one shouldn't attempt to apply the edible unguent below 1500m, as there is a danger of serious burning at sub-optimal altitudes, therefore, it should be applied ON-PISTE.
Given the potentially embarrassing nature of such, clinicians favour application of the condiment on the DARK side of a particularly large mogul. They also recommend, for reasons of potential slippage, that the process should be a two-man job, thus it is suggested that, having dropped your salopettes one should bend right over, after which a friend, standing to your forward section, should grasp your scrotum TIGHTLY and draw it and it's contents forward FIRMLY (avoiding any unnecessary oscillations) whilst you use your free hands to open the bottle and rub 15ml of the sauce into your dukes (avoid contact with tea), after which they should be wrapped in nonstick thick guage tin foil (shiny side up), at this point your friend may release your testicles and help you reposition your pants (or knickers if you're a girl! (or boy))
It is recommended that you reapply after every second lift, and double the dose to 30ml (if you've forgotten your spoon that's approximately 6 capfulls) per extra 500m in altitude.
Specialists warn that for the first half dozen applications one can expect some extreme wincing, but this will have the effect of giving you a life affirming broad toothy smile. In some cases, fits of uncontrollable screaming may ensue, but a detailed explanation from your friend should put the other skiers at ease.
I hope this helps.
(Please dispose of your chilli bottles responsibly)

Roll a Scotch Bonnet chilli in a tobacco leaf and stuff it up your a..e. I know that a bit of lube may help. Some thick bleaches are almost like KY jelly and just the job. Just don't wear your best Calvin Kleins as it will bleach them.
Gerry if you ever had pretensions to be a ski instructor in France this maybe your chance to do the Eurotest.
Alternatively Anusol HC.

Thank you @marodo2712, for significantly brightening up my afternoon
Source a suitably sized icicle and gently guide it carefully past your Emmas to sit snugly in place. Risk of meltage is significant so concurrent use of some Tena pants and regular replacement of the icicle is advised.

Not really, but you've spent 8 years sitting in the SCGB boardroom. Have you thought of asking the chairman for a cushion? Or maybe a whoopee cushion when looking at the accounts? ...

You're a director of Britain's national ski club. Piles (sic) of money are bleeding from the organisation - "c.£1m" lost last year, according to the new treasurer, and "another significant shortfall this year".
I appreciate your medical needs and don't wish to be too anal about this ... but have you anything to communicate that can reassure us that the SCGB isn't going to blow its entire financial reserves (which are primarily the product of selling a freehold building) on nothing more than a blow-out?
Get well soon. And for god's sake keep up the toilet humour.

True story here. Friend had this situation while on a lads trip. He liked the old style Gondola's with the metal benches and knob screws holding the seats down. He'd sit on the knobs pushing the offending parts back in. If I recall correctly this was in Mayrhofen. You may want to check with the tourist office to check if they have suitable old school Gondola's.

Wait until you get to France.
As most of French medicine is suppository-based, they know a thing or two about medicating a ravaged balloon-knot.
Assuming you're not going to Austria, God knows what they'd do there... Probably use it as the clapper in an enormous cow bell.
