Magic!

Having been in this years Scottish choir for the Last Night at the Proms, I now have set myself another project. Without giving too much away just now, it involves some word craft. I have just over a week to complete the project, prior to presentation. The subject is my own, and I have chosen ~ "Magic Skis"

Of course, I have many ideas of my own, but I see no reason not to tap ito the fantasies of J2skiers. Certainly, over the years, I have read a lot of fantasy on J2, and may even have contributed some myself! :wink:
So here is the challenge:

If you had a pair of magic skis, what would you want them to do?
Or, to stand the question upside down:
Are there things that you want to do, that you think only magic skis can do for you?

No "Not a lot" replies please, this is serious fantasy!

No boundaries, not too much in the way of common sense, just emphasise it would need the magic bit.

If/when I complete the project, I promise to post the result ~ if I get some thoughts from here.

When i locked my boots into the ski bindings i could think of any mountain/resort in the world and teleport there !

If I were to own magic skis what would I want from them..

I would want an 'anti-gravity' switch on them somewhere, where you can float at any given time- would be rather handy for throwing yourself off some huge kicker and not having to worry about hurting yourself!

Could also be useful for beating life queues- provided not everybody owned these skis of course!

Thanks for the first bit Baillie, I can use the "float" idea ~ strong. Skiing is so dynamic, it is hard to think of the opposite.

I don't want to beat a life queue, I'll stay at the back of that queue, if you don't mind. :wink:
Good for jumping lift queues though!!!!!
You have your own magic coming soon... get some magic skis!

I'd like them to ski me perfectly to a private chalet with an open fire where Natalie Imbruglia would be waiting for me, and while I am giving her what for it will snow outside and the return journey will never end, until I say "Zillertaller Pils" at which point I ski up to a hut on the mountain where Lindsey Vonn is serving me up ice cold bottles of beer which never make you REALLY drunk, and then after me and Lindsey have got up close and personal I ski forever and ever, with 2 weeks off for a summer break on the beach with Anna Kournikova.
The skis are so magic that this goes on for ever and ever and none of us get any older.

:wink:

Wow! Thanks for that Tony.

That is very strong. The opposite of ~ "Who wants to live forever?" Yes, although age and dying carries no worries for me, skiing forever is a powerful thought.
You should be able to do most of the rest by flashing your Scott Neos. Some ladies are easily led. :wink:

My magic skis would let me ski without snow, would transport me uphill to beat the lift queues and turn my wobbly skiing into expert ability.

Skis that turn in to chocolate so you can eat them if you get peckish half way down the mountain. Then they regenerate so you don't fall over when you start skiing again.

Or, 'come alive' skis that don't need carrying and follow you like a dog wherever you go. No more heaving them over the shoulder to get about.

Can we include poles too? I want a set of poles that work like an umbrella so you can keep them in your pocket if you want to, then flick them out when you need them.
