Skiing dream

[M@]

Had a skiing dream this morning. Mostling centered around the atomic ski poles I have, and one getting lost, and someone with a truck having like 6 pairs and mine getting mixed in with his. Then a helicopter dropped like 30 snowboards on the crowd, and everyone was running to get them. One smacked into a car in the parking lot.

so, did any of the snow boards slice into the parked cars or scrambling people?

If not, maybe snowboard anxiety is the culprit. This is most pronounced when a hard core two planker is starting to work through hostility and begining to see that knuckle draggers saved the Ski Industry....or saved ski movies at the least.

A word of caution...letting the pendulum swing so far as to give up skiing for one-boarding is far too common and leads to a tragic malady known as length-envy.

Sounds like advertising as jumped from reality to your dreams M@. You mentioned a specific brand of poles. Was the truck a Ford? What kind of snowboards? Sounds a bit like a gap commercial or maybe milk...

No no no! Sounds a bit like a sequence from a WM movie which you just attended, but probably misinterpreted due to beer pollution :D

id like this striken from the record. Beer pollution does not exist, just like Global warming.

Product Placement - I got a very nice pair of atomic ski poles last year, carbon fiber, collapseable, breakaway staps... and I only bring them back-country, that is, I don't bring them to a resort where I'd have to leave them out to be stolen. .. I mention that they are atomics becuase a bunch of people here have seen them.

But now that you mention ski advertising: The industry is ad crazy - the stupid magazines I get at home, while it's nice they are free, are MORE than half advertising. The Warren Miller movie 2005 was FULL of stupid granola bars and they used ever excuse in the book to point out that the cars were all jeeps, even going to lengths to show their biggest competitor (subarue) crashing.

I hate advertising... it's a constant effort to keep this strong dislike from distracting me.
