shoogly, skied with him a loooooong time ago. And we did talk photography and you'll be pleased to know the answer was nearly always 1/500 on f8 using Fujichrome.

Lizzard, aww that´s so true though. When my son tore his ACL earlier this year we were literally counting down the days til we could ski together again, and when that day came it was the best day I have had for years, even though it was crappy conditions . How is Mr L btw?

In no particular order:
Anna-Marie Moser-Pröll - the greatest female skier ever with 62 World Cup wins in all disciplines
Hermann Maier - I did ski with him and his Dad years ago when he was a wee sprogg but that doesn't count
Luc Alphand because he seemed to have such fun while skiing - I saw him in Serre Chevalier before he made the big time and he was having a really good time
Franz Klammer - skied with him in the 70s and the 80s - I'd love to ski with him again as he really knows all the best mountain huts!
Pernilla Wiberg again a superb female skier
Anja Paerson- for the same reason
If I had to choose one it would be Moser-Pröll - she was my idol when I was really getting into skiing and taking my exams. She has also put so much back into the system that trained her, unlike so many these days that do little about helping their countries after they retire. With 62 individual World Cup wins she lies 3rd in the overall standings behind Ingemar Stenmark (86 wins) and Ole Einar Bjørndalen (92 in Biathlon and one in Cross-Country).

kooky, Lou, the thing bothering him most is a bruised bottom. Can't help thinking the minced spinal equipment ought to be more of a priority, but apparently not.

...I'd always choose to ski with the son of Posiedon and Demeter (who is also half-sister to Persephone) - ie Glaciius, the God of Snow. Handy throughout the year, I would have thought. You could also ski with Ullr, who is often considered to be the God of Snow (festivals at Breckenridge etc) but is simply the God of Skiing.

Kaj Zackrisson, he always seems to be the most excited person in any ski film and I'm sure it would be infectious. Plus he's an absolutely ripping skier and to watch him ski first hand would be incredible. Plus we'd probably be skiing somewhere pretty cool, I can't picture him wanting to cruise around on piste for very long. Plus he has awesome hair

I wouldn't want to ski with any of these famous, sh#t hot skiers. They'd lose me within 30 seconds and I'd have to find my own way home, alone .

Doug Coombes. He inspired me towareds the steep, and a days boarding with PJ Walker. Again, a character who inspired me to better things.
Plus all the guys and gals I've skied with over the years and rarely hook up with.

If we're taking Apres into account then Oliver Reed.  Otherwise it would be Julia Mancuso - definitely worth keeping with !
