5 Mistakes 30% of Women Do!!!!

Admin, you can take your finger off the delete button, challenge not accepted. I live in America after all (actually I was going to say, that's why I don't ski with poles, who wants to ski with three of them )).

On my first trip over here, touring around Wisconsin (you know it from "Happy Days", not changed much) with my wife (who is a local) we stopped at a puplic swimming beach on a small lake. It's 30 odd degrees and humid so we go swimming. My wife changes in a portapotty, while I change in the car. I'm walking to the beach and I hear my wife calling. she had forgotten that I would be wearing a normal euro men's costume (a speedo in the US). In rural Wisconsin, if want want to be thought some kind of pervert weirdo, wear a speedo to a small town beach. I could feel the eyes bulging as I noticed ALL the men and boys were wearing shorts type trunks. Could just imagine the sheriff turning up to arrest me.

Talking of weird things here, a word of warning to those who holiday here. Public urination is a sex offence in many States. There are people who appear on sex offenders list and have to register with the police for the rest of their lives because they took a piss on the way home from the bar.

In France particularly, Speedo style trunks are mandatory in many public and resort pools. Shorts style trunks are banned. And don't even mention the clothing etiquette for saunas. I can imagine the good folk of rural Wisconsin having a collective embolism over that :mrgreen:

Public urination is pretty well a way of life in France and no-one takes much notice,......which is why the phrase "Don't eat the yellow snow" is really important. Another reason for the habit is some ski resorts facilities charging 1 euro for a P :shock:
Not all of Europe adopts the same behaviours (thank goodness) :D

So Trencher, after a good night on the beer.....are you :twisted:

Pavelski,
You're hanging around with the wrong chicks.
Admittedly it's probably only around 5% of us, but there are some women who spend more time in 45 degree couloirs than planning the skiing disco and losing their mittens.
We can be found in Chamonix, Jackson and where there are no lifts.
Work on your selection criteria please!

ripitup these threads are just light hearted humour and Pavel means no disrespect.Plus us chicks on here can more than look after ourselves.
Relax and join in the people on here are a great bunch.

Clothing is considered unclean, I believe.

You are quite correct. Swimming cozzies get all sweaty when they get hot, not nice.

A comment about the women I ski with.

In all my skiing life I have gone skiing with many women, but I have skied with all day with only three women. Note the all day term!

I am preparing another story about one of these three women! I admire her, I think of her all the time when I ski and she is first and above all a great skier!

My comments about these 5 mistakes, is following my comments about mistakes men do! My training/education has "forced" me to observe people and what they do! Many times their behavior renders me "speechless"!
I just want to share what I observe, in the hope that some skiers will avoid ski sins like bringing in skis into a hoteal lobby or ski lunch area.

When I think I have seen the most dangerous, most idiotic behavior along comes Bandit with a picture of a car with skis sideways,,to out-do my comments! Mike comes out with a story about parents placing young skiers in danger or Ellistine sends me a video with,,,,,,!

Just hope it helps some "new" skier know the unwritten rules and ski manners!
