When I arrive at the ski area in the morning, it's usually after a long drive. Because of this I am stiff and need to loosen up a bit. To do this I set up my ski's on a slight slope (keeping them parallel of course) while my son holds the tails.

When I am ready, we let them glide downhill and I chase after them, finally jumping into both bindings simultaneously. It's a good workout and highly recommended.

Jeff Pier style!

I put mine on before I get to the mountain.This way I can sit on my bed for more support.I did have to extend my toilet a few more feet from the wall though.

I pay a servant to carefully scrape the snow off my boots and attach my skis as I sit in a lounge chair drinking a martini. I'm not really sure which one goes on first.

STFU?
WOW, we have to party!
Think leg dominance ....every one has one!
even you.
I have to write a paper for PSIA-e on how to recognize such actions.
and how noticing such actions might help a skier/rider become a better skier/rider.
I hope that the words that I just typed opened you mind, think about it when you drop down.
What leg do you start off with?
When you are getting ready to step into a seep section do you start off with your stronger leg without even thinking about it, letting the limbec part of the brain take over?

You're joking, right? WHY would you want to write a paper for PSIA on such a silly topic. WHY would PSIA care? So we have dominant limbs, like that's news or something. HOW does this make you a better instructor?

Me? I put my feet into my boots. It doesn't get any more complicated than that.

Thinking about it for the first time, I'm pretty sure I usually step into my left binding first.

And to knock the snow off my boots I usually just kick each foot with the other before I step in.

Then of course I have to pull my pant leg up so it doesn't get stuck in the binding once I click in.

Actually, thinking back to a comment he made a couple weeks ago, Starter may be making a sarcastic comment. This forum has a lot of pretty silly trivia threads running about. I believe he commented on preferring to have a rigorous debate about topics that matter, rather doing a poll on minutiae. It's possible we're all taking it too literally....

I bring a Siamese licking cat with me to the hill, and when I'm ready to ski, after my pedicure, I let the cat lightly lick the snow off the bottom of my boots. I then use the cat to buff the bottoms of my boots to a high gloss. Then a big burly guy named Sven stands about 50 away from me and throws each ski onto my boot with Swiss precision, taking care not to throw-off my DIN setting. I then wear the cat for a hat, and let the limbec part of my brain take over and fall flat on my face, causing a complete yard-sale. At which point I start the process all over again.

If you wear a cat for a hat does that mean that you'll always land on your feet???
