 Poster: A snowHead
|
Hi, I am the travel editor for The Associated Press, AP, the news wire service.
I have to put together a humorous ski calendar for U.S. readers.
Looking for your suggestions. What do snowheads do each year of the month?
Fly to Chile in July? Do thigh workouts in August? Shop for new equipment in March? Make the childcare reservations when the phone lines open Labor Day?
Looking for any and everything, plus the serious stuff. In january, you've got your pick of great stuff to do, so what takes priority?
Thanks in advance for your help.
Anybody that wants to be quoted, please include your first and last name and your hometown...
Those who don't want to be quoted, if your suggestions work, I'll probably refer to the folks who post at the Snowboards.com Web site
Thanks again

Obviously A snowHead isn't a real person

I think it would be more accurate to refer to us as the snowHeads.com website

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

While we're on the topic of what you wrote, I know you yankees like to put the month before the day when quoting dates, but when were there years in months?

bharpaz, can't take much credit for the camerawork myself - nearly all the work of other snowHeads. My technique is "get lucky with conditions" + "fire away indiscriminately"
(For those snowHeads interested I have the digital proofs for the calendars and cards and hope to get the paper proofs by the end of the week)
For me the year goes roughly as follows:
January - SKI-ING
February - Oh dear, not ski-ing again for a couple of months
March - Please snow, don't melt
April - Get some late ski-ing in and maybe pick up gear in the sales
May - End of the Northern hemisphere season - disaster
June - All the snow's gone, what are we going to do now
July - Contemplate selling house to fund trip to the southern hemisphere
August - Light at end of tunnel in sight, start booking for next year
September - Maybe get a snowdome fix
October - First snow falling, much excited bouncing up and down, possible opportunity to squander cash on pre-season gear purchase.
November - Hope to see some more snow falling, get jealous of seasonnaires heading off to the Alps
December - worry intensely about snow conditions in resort of choice.
