Too much time on your hands?
This site has tons of short tests you can take to evaluate aspects of yourself, like how smart, funny or kinky you are, whether you would have been a Nazi in pre WW 2 Germany, who you would have been in the year 1400, etc.

Their ski test is pretty lame. Surely we could do better?

I got a 9 out of 10 and it classified me as a "Snowboarder"
"Congratulations! You scored 9!
So you've been up a few times, maybe you used to ski with your parents at Christmas. Chances are you gave up actualy skiing years ago and switched to the coolest **** around - snowboarding! Yeah nice move dumbass, go learn a real sport."

Sorry guys, I thought the test was pretty cool when I programmed it - I realize now that I was merely angry - lost my lift ticket when I tried to poach Alta.

Doh! I am quite proud of my Tyrolean herritage, maybe alittle too much!

Achtung! You are 38% brainwashworthy, 50% antitolerant, and 42% blindly patriotic
Brilliant, opportunistic, and patriotic to a fault, and not so fond of people who aren't just like you, you are like a Nazi General. Put into Germany in the 1940's, you would have been at the top of the @$$hole list. Not for Nazism, necessarily, but for your own sick, twisted values. Then, out of superior intelligence (relative to other Nazis, that is), you would've climbed to the top.
Conclusion: You would have been a Nazi, or at least aided them well and gladly.

So, the ski test. I had 10/10 right, but then at the end it says I scored a 13??
Congratulations! You scored 13! You know your ****, but still have much to learn. You enjoy skiing alot, but don't sweat it if you can't get out every powder day. You probably thought tanner hall was the most badass skier of all time cause you've seen him in a video or two. You still have much to learn.
Scuuuuse me? I still have much to learn??? I agree with BG, we could do better. I voted Glen Plake, not Tanner Hall (although he is VERY good at what he does).

"You must spread some Reputation around before giving it to kmrnskier again."
You are the Spinal Tap motha of the ski test - "when I need that little extra, I crank it up to 13." Righteous!

Welcome. The season is coming when snow-nymphs bust out. Crank it up to 13!

Wow, was that the test response, a dream, or a passage from Hogan's Heroes or Dr. Strangelove. ????

Ispoiler: According to that test I also would have been a Nazi. Perhaps because they omitted a question "are you (or either of your parents or grandparents) Jewish?"
On the Scientific/Social Intuition test I somehow scored higher on scientific intuition than Bladeguy, which is impossible, so that test is also a scratch.
Theres another one on Sexual Hell that tells you if you're going to Heaven, Purgatory or one of three levels of hell. Level 2 of hell for me, baby!
Concerning cranking it up to 13, I just ordered me a pair of Fritschi Freerides from backcountry.com. I was talking to the sales guy there about the differences between the Freerides and the Titanal III and he was selling the fact that the DIN on the Freerides goes up to 12. I said I'd never have a need for that. "You never know," he said "you might be treking with a really heavy pack." I said "I'm a 5'5" 120 lb woman. I couldn't physically ever carry enough weight to set the DIN at 12." and he had to agree. Then it turned out that they were out of the Titinal IIIs in every size but long, so I had to go with the Freerides. D'oh! Still got 'em at a very decent sale price. Anyone know a ski shop in the Boston area that has a jig to mount them? I am so psyched to get them mounted up and try 'em out on the living room carpet!

Bob Smith's Wilderness house on Comm Ave opposite EMS. Also, they are having an "Employee price for everybody" sale (30% off) on the inventory through Labor Day.
