In most settings, skiing is not the easiest time to meet women.

No, not at all. I've found that, for the most part, you have two groups of people - the ones who actually ski, and the people who want to be seen. If you actually ski, you've usually got so much gear on you can only see pink tinted iridescent eyeballs through goggles and a bit of nose/mouth (often with frozen shit/snot hanging off) poking out. If you want to be seen (chicks, anyway) you've got cute little matching outfits that have no rips/tears/(any other indications that you actually ski) with your whole face and hair exposed, to look cute. I always wonder how they don't freeze to death when they bomb down the hill....

And sadly, bdfreetuna, that line won't work for me - the only people I've seen so far with skis like mine have been creepy old men!

Though "I have a job" might actually work... 8)

From the comments to the linked article:

Just to explain the above joke, I work and ski at Heavenly in South Lake Tahoe, we have girls that dance at Tamarack Lodge called the "Heavenly Angels"

Is this true? Girls dancing at the resort lodge? I don't remember that.

And the best pickup line is, of course, "Hi, my name is Abominable and I'll be your instructor today."

stuck on a stopped lift with an attractive member of the gender you prefer to do some sex with?

try asking "What f#cks like a tiger and winks?"
they will invariably say "I don't know"

At this point you just smile and wink.

Bonus points if this happens on a lift other than a double, with others around for greater awkwardness.

Great place for women to meet men. My wife used to tell her single girlfriends to take up skiing as the ratio is like 10:1.

Ratio is about right, but otherwise I respectfully disagree. See my previous post. I'm not in that latter category, with matching gear and cute little hairdo.

Also depends on your standards too. Seems like the closer I get to the canker sore at the bottom of my state, the higher the douche factor gets.

IMHO.

Believe me my wife is not in that group either though she was the ultimate hairband girl back in the 80's. She can ski.

My point was that in most cases, unless you're already aquainted with someone, initial interest is based on looks. Kinda hard to tell when all you have to look at is what brand of clothing/skis someone is running because you can't see them or their face.

It's actually not bad for a woman to scope out, as some dudes tend to be a little more rugged and only have on goggles, but if it's cold as shit out/snowing/otherwise lousy, I've got my balaklava on. And since my primary focus is skiing, not picking up guys, function wins over fashion. So you can't see me. my avy is a rare time I actually had my shit all peeled off and open, because it was 30 degrees, and I had been ass-teakettling my way through a few feet of fresh powder (In Jackson) for a long time, and I was sweating up a storm.
