Quizz for Women Skiers

Question 1 on quizz is, "Identify the following items"

Well here they are ladies and gentlemen!

Enjoy them.

I will try to keep away but I can see that Mike has already "coached" some women on the "ask Pavel for clarifications" approach!
Good luck DaveMac on trying to beat these ladies!

Good luck Cata on getting this jacket!

Good luck Gordieski on your new jacket!
Good luck karen72 on viewing that first picture.

Above all enjoy yourselves!

See you on Friday.

Respectfully,
Pavel

Once you have all answers, please send via PM! I will post your global results on this site.

OK, Im going to be the first one to ask for 'clarification' then, but Im not going to get anything else done until I get this quiz done... :lol:

For question 4, do we have to link one of the names from list A with EACH item in list B, or are there some in list B spare?? (My google skills are letting me down with this one!!) :shock:

Great quiz though! :D

Geordieski,

No you do not have to match ALL of A list to ALL of list B!

I am sure all participants have noted that there are more items in list B! There is a technical reason for this ,,but not important here!

List A MUST have an item paired to it!

Hope this helps.

Please feel free to ask such questions,,since it is my fauly not to have mentionned this aspect!

I hope you are all learning about great women skiers!

Phew....I was struggling to find any link with the names and some of list B!!! Its been quite interesting though, some of the links I came up with (to the ones that are probably supposed to be the excess) were intersting, if only loosely related to the people rather than linked!!!! :lol:

OMG.... this is a tough one. I can see that I'm not going to get much work done this week!! hahah!!

I hate to see people "suffer"!

Think, what is the most important point in that match item! List A! So you must find out all about those skiers in list A.

Then as you read all about those great women skiers or racers,,you will note one thing that "relates " to list B!

May I suggest also that you widden your Goggle search (not just reading),, but viewing! I may help some of you who do not know skiing history! Pictures are worth a thousand words!

I am sure DaveMac will get first item Nancy Greene since he is "older" and remembers who she is what she did and all opther related information about her! For you younger skiers you will have to "discover" her life, Like you will have to discover the saga of Spyder!

I have had so many "comments" about the picture that I must "help you"! What do you do when you go off on a vacation? You think of all the possible situations you will be in and then plan your clothing, tools, etc.... in reference to your potential needs! Be prepared is an excellent motto! Let it guide you!
Think what will you need on this future ski trip to Pavel's secret place?
All the objects will then be revealed!

Well I wondered why a woman would take Ben & Jerry Chocolate Fudge Brownie ice cream on a ski trip :mrgreen: but then thought --- why take such a small amount :mrgreen: but then I saw that it wasn't ice cream at all. :lol:

No coaching from me Pavel - the ladies are wise enough that my suggestions would be on no use. :shock:

Now I want some ice cream :!:

Mike :wink:
