A pair of skis is not enough

Thu, 10 Dec 2009 22:36:44 GMT

I'm not entirely sure if this is an equipment difficulty, or a medical issue.

You see, a friend in Niederau, finds that buying skis in pairs just doesn't meet his needs. He always feels the need to buy an extra ski. As you can see, this provides some difficulty with the ski shops, unwilling to split a pair.

He, in turn, is unwilling to pay for two pairs of skis, when he maintains that he can't help himself. I've known him for many years, and I don't think he has a phobia, you know it is maybe just a case of that is how he sees life.

Would appreciate any thoughts that might help.

If he wants freestyle skis he could buy Atomic Triplets, sold in... 3's ;)

Well it's a small world, I think I know his sister:

She ski's too, but chooses to buy 3 pairs at a time, to save confusion.

As I said, it is a friend in Niederau, I took the photo, pre-digital hence the poor quality.

The actual location is above the run in to the Gondola, and above is the bottom of the Sexwiess run, the off piste that you enter left off the Mercenwiess.( Mercenwiess is Run 19, there is no number for the Sexwiess :shock:)

That fella would track out a perfectly good off piste run in minutes, I will keep an eye out for him & his tracks the next time I am out there.

I am a wee bit tipsy and can not ascertain if this is a wind up or not. But following a logical thought process the idea is perfectly sane and I would advise all skiers to do this.

Me too, She was quite a looker, lovely pins! Took her dancing to the Cave Bar, but I just couldn't keep up! She was downing pints of Zipfer, but then I guess capacity was not an issue!

And later that night, when things developed, I became confused, I didn't know where to put myself! :D
