Quail, who on ail other occasions with the exception of re- on1e, managed to get in his copy at the 1 3th hour, seems to have been stormstruck some- di. where in Quebec without his French-English Dictionary. Since ail he ever wanted out of this L)1- little excursion in the first place was a little skiing, we thought we'd turn the joke on him ,nh, by reproducing his own warning on the perils of skiing from Ilast year. 25. ch SKIING 15 FUN! ... ISN'T IT?? sus Actually it's rather late this year, and so I have broughit it upon myself ho give somne tips for rts anybody about to take LIp skiing. aes The first thing to do, of course, is to buy skis and equipment. When you enter the store ey try ho pick a salesmian who is not shifty-eyed or looks like a used car salesman. And neyer- D- no never-ask tlie salesmian which end is the front of the ski. If you make this mistake he to will immediately sense a weakness and pounice like a hungry wolf. rk. The basic needs are skis, poles, boots and warmn clothing. The skis should have a good ici- binding that will release your foot from the ski upon impact with a tree, or any other fool- ish object that miay have blindly strayed into yuur path on the slopes. The binding, if proper- ly adjusted, will release your. foot about a 3Oth of a second before you'r ankle breaks. But you can read about this in more detail while you're inthe hospital recovering from your first "fun" ski outing. Boots should fit fairly tight and mnust be flat on the bottorn ho join with the skis. Poles, contrary ho the myth that thiey should fit under your armpits, should be as long as is com. fortable. If the salesmian wants ho use the armpit measure, simply tell hinm your deodorant ran out yesterday and sidetrack hirn to clothes. WINESKINS A MUST! Ski clothing can be expensive, but you could get away with cheap clothing by investing in a wineskin and a six months stock of red wine. The wine serves flot only to keep you warm, but also provides fortitude ho tackle any expert slope, whether you are capable or not. The disadvantage of keeping warmn this way is that sonietimes you can't find your car in the parking lot ah tthe end of the day. Actually, I can remenîber days when I couldn't even find the parking lot. EMOTIONAL INVOLVEMENT, HEALTHY The nexi step is ho becorne emnotionally involved with your nlew skis. First of ail, the right ski always goes on the righit foot, but you'll find it really doesn't miatter. The reason is because the skis will go wherever they damn well please, no mnather which skis are on whichi féeet. After puthing on your skis you mnust famniliarize yourself with the- peculiarities. To do hhis,you should first try walking around in thern. At this point you first become emiotionally involved because they don'h like walking around and you'll discover a real conflict of desires. Occasional blessings have been known ho help, but this is touclîy because you don't know if your skis are Protestant or Athecist, and an insult will only lead ho a further rift în relations. SCREAMING A NO-NO Another point ah which emotional involvement is ah a peak is when your skis strive for a straight line downhill ah 40 mn.p.h. while you wish ho humn or stop. Caution nmust be exercised about secaming at this point because such behaviour will only attract attention ho the fact you are not yeh the master of your skis. If you survive tlîis latter incident, it won't take you long to realize that your skis are the miaster and you miush place your lire in their hands, or rather fet -and you probably will! After having fooled flie public inho rhinking you are a skier, you must then go on ho whiter pastures such as conquering tlhe slopes. It is quite possible ho remiain on the beginner slopes for years, but gradually you'll realize there is a greater challenge ho be met on the harder slopes. CONQUERING THIE MIGHTY SLOPES You shiotldn't pay attention ho îthe naines of hilîs sucli as; "Ameni", "Double lndeminity Special", or "Sec You In HelI" as those mnay discourage you just a little. Even hilîs like, "Granniy's Pass" (Granny is buried there) can bc deceiving. You miust stand on the top of thîe hilI and say, "I will survive!", and then informi your skis if you don't iake it, neither Mill thcy. UJpon sharhing down tlhe hilI you nust flot bc distracted by tightly packed ski pants, or sorne stupid snow fence will take advantage of'ithe distraction ho slithcr olut in front of you. if, by sonie remiohe chance this docs happen. yeun nay take ho the air and jumip it, ail the limie reniecmbering wha t gues uI) will inevitably corne crash ing downl.
