Item 10 : Polar Fleece Jacket Quiz

This last item is aimed at the "more mature" skier who has lived skiing beyond the slopes.
Once you accept skiing as a life style, you discover that skiing has ties to many unusual people and contexts.

Ernest Hemingway wrote many well know novels. He wrote three books in which skiing was integrated to his message.

List the three books which refer to skiing.


That is the final item for this quiz. I will wait one week and then score all answers. Persons who participated in the quiz will get all the correct answers.

I hope this quiz has made your summer just a little shorter.

Pavel, many thanks for doing this quiz.

I may not have got them correct, but I have enjoyed trying to find the correct answers, and have certainly learnt many things I probably would never have known about skiing otherwise.

Thanks again, your time is very appreciated.

I wish to echo the "honorable" FQ's ((or is that "questionable" FQ's)) ...... nope .... it's honorable FQ's comment of thanks!! Win lose or draw I've learned about some new aspects of skiing equipment and its history. Therefore it is win - win for me. I still have a week to free myself from the sticky honey but I expect the answer to # 2 will arrive before I become free :( :( .
Thanks Pavel .... it has been interesting !!

Far Queue,

I have a surprise for you. For participants like you there are some small ski related items which I get from ski/board companies.
Via PM send where I can send you these items.

For example last year one boot company had some multi-purpose knives (like the famous Swiss penknife ) to give out. I had 5 units given to me. Passed them on to other deserving skiers.

Hope what you get.

Everyone is a winner Far Queue.

The J2skier community will all benefit, if the questions and correct answers are posted together publicly.

Excellent suggestion.

In the spirit of "collaboration",,,,,,,, allow persons who got correct answers on quiz share their answers. It will promote positive discussion on how they got answer, how they used Goggle effectively and also allow late entries to also search for correct answer.

Let me begin discussion for correct answers by giving one of the answers.

It is Chemmy Alcott.

What item does this answers refer to ?

Pavelski, once your quiz is finished, just post the questions you set and then list the correct answers. No discussion, no methodology, just facts. This is about skiing, not on how to use various search engines on the web.
