one for the ladies?.........shewee

Use a toilet.

This raises 3 interesting pionts:-

1. Why does needing a wee indicate a problem that requires a visit to the doctors - surely this is quite normal? :twisted:
2. I asume that, like most blokes, you always use a toilet then? :roll:
3. Why are you even reading this thread when it is clearly titled 'one for the ladies'? )

Bullocks :P

If you ever ski anywhere off the beaten track, there are no convenient toilet stops....hence the adage..."Don't eat the yellow snow"

If you ever ski anywhere you are required to wear a harness or be roped up for a glacier crossing...

ditto the above.

You can't take off the harness, so as a woman (not that you can comprehend this easily), just how do you pee without risking your life?

Hmmmm?

I thought someone would bite!

Ok:

1. If you cant wait long enough to find a toilet, you must be getting older.
2. Yes, absolutely.
3. Its a free world.

It's just too easy for men! Get it out and pee!

For women, imagine those holes in the floor, when you're wearing ski boots, the floor is wet, there's nothing to hold on to, and even worse you could be wearing salopettes with dungerees straps... Accurate peeing for women is not easy without all that to contend with!

I think the shewee is a great idea!

Is there any such web site that shows you on a piste map which cafes actually have toilets, and which have holes? I always mark them on my own piste map...

I think it's a great idea, but I don't get how you manage to pee without taking your trousers down. Does it actually fit through your front zip?

The only trouble I have ever had peeing, was in the dark at the side of the road when I couldn't see where it was going and I wet my shoes, and another time in the dark when I accidentally squatted on an ants nest and got trillions of ants in my pants :lol:

Personally, I find when I'm ski-ing that my pee gets re-absorbed from my bladder and I rarely need to 'go' during the day, even when I drink lots. I think it must be a combination of the dry air at altitude and the excessive physical exertion creating a lot of sweat. Pee at altitude seems to be much more concentrated - i.e. more yellow - especially noticeable in the yellow snow patches.

You are dehydrated, and yes, they fit through the front zip.

Bandit,
I think you're very probably right (although I meant to say I do pee at lunch time as well, back at the apartment), but judging by the colour of the yellow snow patches around the resort so are a lot of the dogs and blokes as well :lol:

Ally effectively it means that you pee like a man!

I will admit that I wouldn't find the need to use on one on the slopes as a toilet is never too far away however when out and about "up hills and down dales" I can see they could be better than trying to find an illusive bush
