 Poster: A snowHead

After the Australian view of the Brits and their dry slope skiing, here's another Aussie's view of the sport, this time on skiing in Oz....

Ladies and gentlemen, start your Range Rovers.
Our more fashionable suburbs will become ghost towns next weekend as marketing men, bottle blondes and pretty much anyone else whose self-esteem is highly dependent on their credit card limit head for the smallish bumps somewhat generously known as the Australian ski fields.
For those of us who would sooner place our private parts in a vice than hurtle down a cold, wet slope with fibreglass planks lashed to our feet while holding two sticks, the opening of the ski season is an event that holds roughly the same significance as Mongolian Badger Skinning Day. |
Much more of the same follows..... ending with....

| No, I'm not bitter about skiing because I can't stand up in a slow-moving train. I'm not even against skiing because it's cold, wet, dangerous and should only ever be considered as a means of searching for lost Austrian schoolkids. I don't like skiing because people like you won't shut up about it. |
Excellent stuff....

I think it is accurate as far as cold and dangerous. Didn't find it wet much although have experienced rain a few bit. Gortex does wonder here.
The bit I like is "Besides, if skiing is a sport, where is the ball? "

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

Chris Bish,
You either have no friend here or someone has joined up your skis to form a snowboard.

I'm being too obscure again!
What I meant was the slopes are clearer and nicer without people who have the attitudes expressed by the author of the article quoted by PG.
I was assuming that his friends would be similarly unattractive!
