 Poster: A snowHead
|
Hi all,
I work with The Clubhouse (fairly new hotel and members’ bar) in Chamonix and we’re trying to put together a list of snow do’s and don’ts. Anyone got any good ones?
We’re thinking along the lines of stuff like this:
- Alcohol and skiing don’t mix. Alcohol and hot tubs, however, mix wonderfully.
- Three point harlequin hats with bells on are not permissible unless you are 14 years old on your first ski trip...and then only just.
- Wear your helmet with pride, it means you know what you're doing.
- Camouflage kit is for kids.
Thanks a lot, can't wait to read them here.

- Just because the person in front of you is going out-of-bounds during a whiteout, doesnt mean they know their way down the mountain.

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

- Drinking alcohol and skiing don’t mix, better to do them separately or you will spill most of it.
- For good fitting boots there are bootfitters, for everything else there's ebay.
- If you need help to screw in a lightbulb don't ask a ski instructor or our bar staf, they only screw in hot tubs.
- Always thirsty in the morning? you're just not drinking enough at Apres Ski.

- 1 piece suits in dayglo colours are only permissable if you are skiing in rear entry boots on skinny skis more that 230 long.

- Just because you spend tens of thousands of pounds marketing Chamonix and the Chamonix valley to upmarket people from the South East of England does not mean that these clients will be able to ski anything worthwhile.
- You will not miss the ski-bums until they have all been priced out of the "market".
- More tourists skiing the gnarly terrain of Chamonix* makes season tickets slightly more affordable.
* gnarly terrain of Chamonix primarily means Le Tour.

Take your skis off before you get in a Bubble lift. Put your skis on before you use a Drag lift.

If you can't tell the difference between a left and a right ski you should be using a snowboard.

smolo, 
theclubhouserules, I think you must be the first SH made of concrete (unless you are a radical departure from typical Haute Savoie construction techniques?). These are not mine ...
- Don't put off till tomorrow what you can do today as you might like it and want to do it tomorrow as well
- Moderation is for monks
(Slightly paraphrased from Robert A. Heinlein but I think appropriate for your context!)
PS I think alcohol and sking does mix

Hello again everyone, thanks for the suggestions. We're sorting through them over the next few weeks and will post our final list on our website

The bigger the colour difference between your skis and your boots, the more you want to look as if you chose them purely for their performance
