How Are Skiers So Much Like Cyclists?
They like to wear colourful duds, are always on the lookout for new hills, and no matter how many skiers congregate in a given spot, no two have the same pair of skiis.

We use special shoes to attach ourselves to the equipment and we're (most of us) seasonal.
oh yeah, don't forget the OCPs

Both groups believe that wearing the most brightly colored, logo-ridden, tightest possible clothing makes them look cool.

"are always on the lookout for new hills"
Except they only want to go downhill without having to work too hard.
In Wisconsin, the cyclists are usually X-Cty skiiers (not downhill skiiers). Huge difference.

screen name says it all. Downhill that is. Have to agree on the spend way too much money thing.

Noob? I was a noob in skiing in 1966. I'd be shocked if I didn't have more vertical feet skiing than 95% of the skiers on this forum.
