Be Smart; Spend Money On Ski Clothing Rather Than Actual Skiing Gear

For anybody who’s taken their life in their hands and decided to strap two wood and fiberglass pieces of board to their feet and then careen down a hill, arms windmilling wildly only to strike a tree at about 700 miles an hour, there’s actually something attractive that could come out of it. Looking good can be better than being good when it comes to skiing, so consider fashion before skiing lessons.
Think about things for a minute; Alpine skiing usually involves careening like a madman down the slope and on Alpine skiing equipment that costs literally hundreds and even thousands of dollars. Now; most ski resorts rent that stuff and at a price that’s bound to be less than the three-month hospital stay that usually occurs after improper Alpine skiing is done by folks who have no business on slick wooden boards and snow.
This is why it can be a magnificent idea to just go with the rental gear and get clothing that’ll help somebody look like they’ve conquered the last two Winter Olympics and walked away with all of the gold medals. And though being laughed at because the bunny slope is the only ski area that the fake Olympic skier will be on, consider the sheer mortal danger of skiing on a hill higher than a few feet in height. It’ll all be worth it in the end.
So ponder on why it’ll be smart to spend a few bucks on a black sport watch to match all of that high-tech ski clothing. At the least, it’ll chime when it’s time for happy hour and one can leave the cruel torture of the bunny slope that all the little kids ski down to head over to the clubhouse to receive the cheers that is one’s due after braving some of the most challenging slopes (not) in the world.
And maybe that’s why it’s a good idea to buy a nice black helmet. After all, it’ll hide all of the blood stains and even the gashes that it took on behalf of that egg-soft skull that it’s protecting and that can’t seem to conceive that mountains aren’t meant to fall down from. At any rate, one will look good while the ski patrol gets the medevac helicopter to take one down from the mountain top, right?
The biggest secret when it comes to skiing is to realize that humans weren’t made to go hurtling down K2 at near-lightspeed and slick and icy frozen water crystals. In fact, it’s a pretty good bet that the whole sport was thought up by some ancient Greek god who liked to see humans fall down into funny lumps on the stuff. Truly, the gods have no pity!
In the end, it’s probably best to spend the bucks buying good-looking clothing that’ll also look good at the clubhouse while all of that rental ski gear sits outside, collecting ice and snow while the hot toddies are being poured inside. What’s the point of going to a ski resort, after all, if the only thing to do is to ski?
