Your perfect ski day

[nhskier1969]

Everyone wants a perfect ski day, blue bird day, 2ft of new snow and no lift lines. This isn't realistic unless you want to pay for heli or snowcat skiing.

So what is the perfect day.

You have 20 points to work with. Use the points as you fit for each category. The first phrase will be the worst. The second phrase is the best. Assign points to each category to find your perfect day.

1. Weather. Cold and windy as hell you'll need to wear a one piece or 25 degrees no wind

2. Visibility. Socked in, everything looks like fuzz. or. Blue bird day

3. Conditions ice, ice baby. or. snowed 2 ft over night

4. Services. Warming hut, portapotty. or. Great services, apres and free beer.

5. Lift lines. Epic pass Epic lifelines from hell. or. no lines ski on

6. Slope crowds. Jerry over here, Jerry over there, Jerry everywhere. or. Still making your own marks on groomers at the end of the day.

My friends like blue skies and sun
I like 15' of cold dry powder and moguls that grow through out the day.

I like to golf in warm rain. You can move the ball easier and have it stick.

Back on topic.

I like this game. I need some clarification on how to assign points and utilize the categories. Or an example.

Agreed. Mostly unsure how to assign points. Would go second phrase on all but maybe 6. Jerry watching can be its own sport especially if you've got the free beer from line 4 and are on a nice deck under the bluebird skies from line 2.

1) Weather Hot rain and hurricane force winds +50 points

2) Completely flat light, heavy dense fog. Ski through a snow gun, goggles are encrusted with a thick layer of ice. Can't see the snow beneath my feet. Is that a gate or a tree? Every time I crash, instant yard sale. Can't find my skis but wind up finding someone else's ski. My left ski is a carving ski 64mm underfoot and my right ski is a Duret MonstreFat 177mm wide. I'm ready for anything.+50 points

3) Skating rink. Okay 'cause I brought my ice skates +100

4) Services Shmervices. Pee in the trees. Poop next to my car in the parking lot. Step in it. Spend 30 minutes scrubbing sole of boots. Leave my belongings in bag outside lodge under dripping roof. Clothes, street shoes, snacks freeze solid. Carry hatchet to chop away ice. I visit bar at 8 am for a few shots of courage. Warm beer. Cold women.+200

5) Lift lines one hour minimum. Everyone is drunk. They step all over my skis. Everyone is brawling. As I only ski Sunday River on Saturdays, only 1 chairlift running at half speed. Line extends all the way to NH +100

6) All the male skiers under 30 are wearing their favorite pro sports jersey. I wear my autographed Bill Buckner Red Sox jersey and gold lame hotpants. Why am I getting all the dirty looks? Everyone is drunk. +300

Total points =1125

Skiing through a snow gun with Bill Buckner in hot pants.

This guy gets it.
