Context

You know what looks weird when you are not actually doing it? Standing on a ski hill. It just looks strange.



Much the way clumping around in ski boots seems normal when you are doing it but is otherwise crazy. I rode the Grouse ski gondola this summer to my friend's wedding wearing a dress and mules and it was the strangest feeling ever, especially when on the way down we went over the midstation and a bunch of water tipped out from somewhere in the ceiling and landed on me and the bride. Thank goodness for being drunk.

1) ya.
2) the vast carpet of winter wonderland spread out beneath us
3) it's our homage to 007
4) don't know
5) how can they legitimately have names? all the runs run together. it's right near the top of the peak, skier's left of the gondola.
6) just like school or a game show.

Great bowling alley of gapers. Those people look lame because they suck ass at skiing, face it. Your task: treat them like race gates. Get as close as possible. Aggressive forward stance. But no gate slapping. Finish by flipping 180 and skiing away switch.

I'm coming to stay when you move to Whistler. Yeah, those people DO look lame, a slalom is what they deserve. Also, that's me on the right.
