That's a telling photo, Swing Beep. My buddy and I skied down under the chairlift at the end of season and collected 80 left hand gloves, only 2 or 3 right hand gloves.

Interesting Dave. I'm left handed, and would always remove my left hand glove to do anything on the lift.
This makes the lh glove ( in my case) the most likely to fall.

Does this mean L handed people are most clumsy (probably)
Or that more left handers ski (unlikely of course)

Like the person I skied with in January who had no idea what they were for - and just tucked them out of the way.


My idiot strings have saved me many times from a trip to the shop for new gloves.

What 'idiot' strings? I must be a 'double idiot' because I've never even noticed them

And what are you supposed to do with them, if you've got some?

Thanks Ian

Next time I'm ski-ing I will have a very careful look at my gloves, and if they have 'idiot' strings I will put my hands through them.

Mind you, I've never lost a glove yet

I find the place I'm most likely to lose my stuff is in the ski locker room, when I come in exhausted at the end of the day and put my gloves etc. on the bench whilst I take my ski boots off.

IMO anyone who needed idiot strings would not have the intelligence to know how to use them I of course do not have or need them
