The 10 Essential Things you must do this summer!!!!!

Alright alright the title should have said, "the 10 essential things you must do related to skiing,,,this summer"

Most skiers put away skiing equipment ( some in dangerous places) and forget skiing!

Then there are those like you who dream of the endless winter, thus read all messages about skiing.

There are 10 \Summer " activities" which are essential,,,if you are really a "serious" skier!

I will GIVE to any skier a polar fleece jacket to any skier who gets the most "activities" all serious skiers must do! The answer will be posted in one week!

This project is valid for one week!

No Mike I will NOT give you hints!
Yes Ellistine you can search on Google!


The contest is on!

7 Days!

1. Get into or keep in shape. There is no two ways about it - to get the best out of skiing requires you to be fit.

2, Insure your skis are stored flat and with a good covering of wax.

3, Plan your winter trip(s) (you have to have something to look forward to)

4, Repair, fix, and if you aboslutely must replace any damaged equipment (including clothing).

5, Scour Ebay for bargains

I did this constantly to my boyfriend

1. Clear up any outstanding bills from last ski season. Where ever they made have accumulated
2. Show your mode of transportation some love.
3. Time to plaster your stickers from your fav resorts all over your vehicle to show everyone where you've been
4. Service your bindings
5. Heal from last seasons misfortunes
6. Keep in some kinda shape. I myself am working on a shape that's not an amoeba
7. Give props to your favorite resorts. From working at a ski resort for a few months it feels great when someone says. Hey, good job guys!
8. It's probably a good idea to touch base with your family, you've probably havn't seen most of them for awhile.
9. It's probably a good idea to take your ski equipment out of the car
10. Make new friends over the summer so you have new ski buddies, or atleast someone that's nice enough to be able to identify the body


*gives Pav a hug* Where have you been man!!

Pavel says he won't offer me a hint !!! So where is my challenge now ? The real challenge is in trying to pry a hint from him.

My 10 replies are all the same : # 1 - # 10: We must plan for our future needs - the things we need for the next season, the things and events like everyone else has already listed. (I have learned how important this is from a Pavel Quiz of about 2 or 3 years ago.)

However I think I should disqualify myself from this "contest" as I am the proud recipiant of the Spyder polar fleece jacket from the "Great Pavel's Wall Quiz". As a matter of fact I'm wearing this jacket as I type this note. It is a really nice warm jacket.

But when the trip to Chile comes up for "grabs" ... I'm in that quiz for sure.
