Pavel,

If we are allowed many answers I will begin with this one and proceed with additional replies when able.... if that's OK. I will not use the shot-gun on this quiz. This is more difficult than I imagined. Like Rossfra8 suggested, a larger picture would aid in the viewing.

I have broken this down into sections (geographical and logical) but this hasn't helped much. The geographical are places like ceiling, left wall, back wall, and right wall .. ect... My logical divisions are the things that are obvious and ... all the rest. True, not all that well subdivided!

However I begin (with a short reply);

Item # 1 : Poster showing the ski hils of "Ski MornHeights, "Mont Avila", "Jay Peaks", and Mont Saint-Sauveur along with one more that I am unable to make out. This item (poster) is on the ceiling at the left side

Item # 2: Poster on ceiling second from right, advertising "Smugglers' Notch" Vermont - "America's Famuily Resort" located at4323 Vermont Route 108 South.

Item # 3: Poster back wall advertising "Mont Sainte-Sauveur" resort located at 350 rue Saint-Denis
Saint-Sauveur, QC

Item # 4: Also on back wall about 5/8 of room width from left is a poster advertising Stowe Mountain Resort in Vermont. The mirror is hanging just below the name "Stowe"

Item #5; Possibly simply stating "Ski and boot review chart" may cross the rule line but it is difficult to pick out a year or source of the chart ,... which is just right of the Stowe poster.

Item #6; Stowe Mountain Resort decal- left of the Mont Sainte-Sauveur poster and near the ceiling

Item #7; Sunday River decal (larger size) - right below the Stowe decal mentioned above,

Item #8; TAOS Ski Valley decal - beneath the Sunday River decal mentioned above

Item #9;, Item #10, Item #11: Cards which look like season passes (again maybe these entries don't have enough detail)

Item #12; Smaller Sunday River decal - beneath these cards

Item 13; Card similar, to Item #10 possibly a season pass for a different year - located below the smaller Sunday River decal

Item #14 Burshed aluminum (possibly magnetic)rooftop ski/snowbaord carrier - located in front of the Mont Sainte-Sauveur poster crossing out the word "best"

Item #15 Blue elastic band - usually used for holding ski brakes out of the way when tuning the skis -- located on the item above at the item's right end keeping it closed.

Item #16 Rubber/Plastic coated hook for holding ski related items - located about 6" from file cabinet
on left wall and about 4" from ceiling.

Item #17 The cabinet mentioned above which holds ski plugs and various screws and springs for the ski repair trade - located on the far left edge of the picture and near the back wall.

Item #18 The long spatula which no doubt has some ski related function -- located hanging from a nail left of the Stowe decal but right of the rubber coated hook.

Another installment followes at another time.

I bet there are more than 70 items in this picture !!!

So much for a short reply....
Mike :roll:

"Of course I would look at them!"


Thanks for a good laugh Ellistine !

Did you notice the item behind the Honeywell de-humidifier/heater in the lower right corner. I've been looking for one of those for years! Should have realized who would have had one !!

I suppose this is fair ! :wink:

And, Pavel, to be really fair ... if you by mistake do send Ellistine or myself hints via PM - I'm sure we wouldn't look at them !! Right? Ellistine...

I will not give any "hints" even if Mike tantalizes me once the picture is posted!

Now, Pavel... you know that I would never seek additional hints ... :lol:

It is good to see that there will be a Fall Pavel Quiz this year. It's the Spring Time Pavel Quiz which brings on the sleepless nights.... I'm hoping (likely along with Ellistine ) that this quiz will not bring us to sleepless nights.

Mike :wink:

Just a few suggestions ....

Rush to aid of a young lady who seems to be having trouble getting her boot buckles fastened. All that bulky ski garb can make reaching the buckles troblesome at times.

If some one has fallen and is slow to get back up, just stay with them as they "get their head back on straight" Don't rush them to get going -- just be company to them and don't keep asking if they are all right. (Even if they aren't bleeding.)

Try not to ski on the snowboarders' blind side.

But the obvious thing we can do is spend hours in meditation, thinking of answers to help a fellow skier reach a goal so that he can get all the rest he may need.

Hope this helps Ellistine! Sleep well!!

Mike :wink:

I think Pavel is offline for a few days - as soon as he's back in action we'll have everyone set-up; but there'll be little to see here until he's with us again.

Hi there Mr. Admin !

You're right, I too (like Ellistine) can see the picture really well. It helped to login !! I feel I should put the ski boots on to help with the appreciation of the picture. Pavel would be proud if we all viewed this site in proper ski attire!! Actually the picture makes me anxious for the season to return. What a delightful view!

Yes I expect Pavel will return soon.

Thanks,

Mike :wink:

Where did you see it Ellistine ?

I can't see it.

I must have a strange attraction to lights. I like # 8 and # 11.

"8. Ski lights ( really) Just screw the, on tips!
11. Poles with batteries so you can have blinking poles"

But then what sold me on the roller blades I bought last year were the toe and heal lights (LEDs). And you can set them to flash at different rates and patterns! Are the ski lights "programmable" as well Pavel? Will the tail light brighten when you put on the brakes ? A starin guage could be used to sense a braking action and trigger the brake light. It would be great for night skiing...


Just too cool !!!
