100% accurate way of judging a stranger's skiing ability.
Regarding walking with your skis, i find holding your skis in your mouth like pirates do with their cutlasses the most badass thing to do. Pictures to follow.
I find that when not walking on the mountain/ to the base over the should is reckless... To many times I see ( i guess you guys would say weekend warriors) with their skis over there shoulders swinging them around on the base plaza almost taking people down.
I don't step on the stair its self but I roll the edge of the stair on the middle of my ski boot between the heel piece and toe piece so it rolls over and makes walking down so much more easy. try it out, its awesome.
I also carry my skis just by grabbing them in the middle and just carrying them like a brief case, but not to be confused with the Texas briefcase.
every now and then i do the firewood and act as if i have a mental disability, then drop my stuff and see how long it takes before a gaper comes to help me ....
you should try it, it's actually really entertaining and not even all that bad !
It made sense in my head...sorry.
I guess I'll try to explain my failed attempt at being funny.
The thread is about how to judge a strangers skiing ability. Salomonskier commented "what if they (being the stranger, I thought?) are wearing fulltilts" as if that was a way to judge them.
In the picture I posted there are two guys dressed up as gapers. The one on the other persons back, I'm pretty sure has full tilts on. They look like they're dressed up as gapers so I made the meme about how if they are wearing fulltilts they must be a legit/good skier, not necessarily being the case though in the picture, because those guys do look like gapers.
Again, it made sense in my head and I thought it would make sense when I posted it too. I guess not though, and I'm sorry if my explanation didn't help either, I tried.
I guess my humor over the interwebz needs some adjusting...
