waxs your skis with a warm, high flauro wax to keep youir skis fast on the wet snow. Personally, I hate skiing in the rain as I think everybody does.

well you could not go. But then you wouldnt be skiing. Go and make sure you wear waterproof stuff. Bring a lot of extra stuff cause you'll get wet.

My girlfriend told me to shove my skis up my ass

If you're in the rain, it'll get slushy, so just be ready for that.

if youre a super aggressive carver, the snow will give way more easily, and the rain makes it a really shitty ride up the chair, it feels like you piss in your pants

it's still skiing, which is always good.

But it sucks and can get you worn out and miserable really quick.

Heavy fog, wind, rain, any combination or one of those suck to ski in.

dont worry, when the rain turns the snow to slush, the landings dont just as much if you fall

yeah, bring a lot of extra clothes, dont layer too much cause you'll get hot (when it rains, its not usually very cold), and get the hell away from the bottom of the mountain, thats where the snow is the worst b/c of the max amounts of people skiing to the base lodge.



~*I'm going skiing, it's pretty weird
when I get to the top of the slopes
I look down on the mountain side
should I traverse cross country, snow plow or parallel
or hit a mogul, baby, and watch me slip and slide
I might even do some free ride*~

i remember the days when i didn't have gortex waterproof gear. i couldn't stand skiing in the rain. It was miserable. now i can stand it for about 3-4 hours before i become miserable. I just stick it out though and ski because i love it so much.

haha, he makes it seem like skiing in the rain is bad. It makes the landings nice and soft. You obviously are spoiled to have never skiid in the rain.
