After the snow melts what is left behind?

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)

A high proportion of people, if right handed, use their dominant hand to carry out a task needing the most strength or dexterity. Hence right handers will pull off the left glove first, and then drop it, because their LH is less dexterous.

Left Handers do not have this pre-disposition. (Science Daily 8 March 2011)

And as discussed in another thread, when taking skis off, RHs pick up the RH ski and lift the brake over the LH ski, and vice versa when unlatching skis to put them on.

My two sons are both left handers, and they both THINK they ski more quickly than me. So much for the power of thought of Left Handers!

I lost a glove once from a chair lift while i was messing with my iPod, the people in the chair behind me were shouting and pointing down and it took me a while to realise what i had done.
On a positive note it gave me my first off piste experience retrieving it.
Its not until you are gloveless that you truly feel their worth....

tell me about it, I tried to video my daughter but could onl;y do it with the left glove off, after 30 or so seconds I had to put the glove back on as the cold was biting my hand because we were skiing down at the same time.

ouch

It has been estimated that in a big resort as many as 30,000 cigarette butts are dropped under each chair lift during a ski season. Each one contains enough nicotine etc. to contaminate about 500 litres of water.

Excellent

I wondered where my red devil soft toy was

I think that's my manhole cover there as well

Gosh ... It is disgraceful

You know, I wouldn't be at all surprised if some people had deliberately thrown the drinks bottles and cigarette ends etc. on the ground from the chairlifts.

We sometimes have holidaymakers like that here, who drive up our lane and throw their rubbish (like Macdonalds waste) out of the car window. They seem to think that we have street cleaners here like in the city, whereas the truth is that if one of us doesn't pick up the crisp packets etc. the rubbish will simply lie in the hedges for years.

In some ski areas that I ski, at very top 100 meters before lift off platform are three huge plastic drums for skiers to throw down various objects.


What do you see 300 meters before these drums?


Red Bull drink cans. Beer cans, Cigarette buts etc,,,,

Thoughtless persons are ,,,well thoughtless.
