2 = Number of skis required to, um, ski!
{2 = Number of skis required to, um, ski}!
GOOD ANSWER !!!!
I was thinking along the same line too !!
Like:
4 - the number of edges
2 & 1 - the number of tracks down the hill (depending upon the skier's ability to ski edge to edge (arc to arc )
8 - the total number of buckles on the ski boots
4 ( again) the maximum capacity on a quad lift chair
3.1415926535926 or PI being the meaning for lunch time
(One extra number this time as there may be one that isn't quite correct!
The flight path for Gatwick passes over my wife's cousin's place.

That'll definately be Weybridge then and not Weymouth. We don't see much in the way of those new fangled flying machines around here - plenty of tractors mind.The flight path for Gatwick passes over my wife's cousin's place.
3 = Number of pairs of skis you can fit into one bag to avoid paying even more carriage on flights. Might need to remove a binding or two though.

Well that's one puzzel solved now if we could come up with Pavel's magic numbers .....
How about;
12 - the number of ski patrollers on duty at one time
6 -- the number of lift attendants on duty at one time
4 - the number of girls tending the lunch counter / shift
5 - the number of people tending the lift ticket counter
1 - the bar keep ... usually John - a rather nice guy!
More thought and sleepless nights soome to come :cry:

Well Ellistine it is about 1 am in Weymouth as I write this; offering yet another combination of numbers for Pavel's consideration. You are no doubt dreaming of numbers right now for your next reply.
So here is another set from me...
12 ... the 12th month - December when our ski hill opens for the season
10 ... the 10th day of the opening month ie.; the date of the first day of the season
07 .... representing the year 2007 for which the frist two numbers (above) relate and combine to give the date mm/dd/yyyy for the first day of the 2007 season
900 ... representing 9:00 am which is when the first chair will depart the base of the hill on the above date --- this will be the official start of the 2007 season -- to the minute !!!
97 ... the number of ski days in th fully open ski season (for our hill) for which the opening day and time is given above !!!
So by knowing these things (ie facts related to numbers) we can plan our season for next winter and in that planing be safe, confident, happy and save money if we plan it correctly!!

It is an interesting looking place. Thanks for the link.
But skiing all year has it's advantages. You can pick the best weather or plan days that will suit your schedule the best.
Today's temperature is in the very high 20's C and even 30+ ; and the nice thing was the local evening news had news of some Atlantic ski hills (One in New Brwnswick received a provincial grant for future developments). So in all the heat it was nice to see some skiing on the snow in the winter months.
Now the numbers ... but not just numbers but rather m a g i c numbers! Hmmmmmm what could they be???? I must get a good nights sleep and give the matter more serious thought than I have so far.
Pavel - you are keeping very quiet ... Ellistine and myself are loosing too much sleep!!! It is still a fun quizz but ....... I think we need another hint!
