Poster: A snowHead

When it comes to summer skiing alternatives, the United States has a lot of catching up to do. |
Few excuses in Europe, according to this Ski Magazine article, not to get in some practice during the summer months. From dry slopes to grass to snowdomes, the range of facilities gives Europe the edge over the US.

Couldn't help spotting this interesting quote from a British plastic slope user:
"British skier Ryan Wilgoss is more blunt: "The friction on the skin is reminiscent of a bad carpet-sex session," he says."
Absolutely. If you're going to have sex with a carpet, at least make sure it's pure wool (that's not a sheep joke, by the way)

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

From last paragraph of the article
Quote: |
But there may come a day when skiing will be available all summer long-on outdoor manmade snow |
.Am I just silly, or does anyone else not like this idea. I like the changing seasons with different outdoor activities. Though I moan with everyone else, I think the long wait between ski seasons, and then the desperate need to pack in as much skiing as possible in just 4 months adds to the whole experience. Anyone else?

PG, aren't all US skiers now doing gnarley things with surf and skateboards for the next six months? Or do the films exaggerate things slightly?
"Bad carpet-sex session" sounds a bit tacky.

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

Does 'good carpet-sex session' sound any less tacky?
It can't be that popular, judging from recent trends towards hardwood and laminate flooring.

David Goldsmith, surely that's where shag-pile got it's name? Wooden floors have gotten more popular since carpet bagging got a bad name.

There is always good & bad to any carpet sex session - you've got to go in knowing the injuries possible. You're going to come away with some sort of burns. Knee pads and elbow pads are good forms of PPE but the "moment" tends to get lost while putting them on so you accept the "burn".
Now if i was Swiss Tony, "Making love to a beautiful woman on carpet is just like dry slope skiing........................." I'll leave the rest of you to fill in the blanks.
