I think that Hermann Maier's BMI would be in the obesity range, like many rugby players. So yes fat people can ski.

A friend of mine was told that he would not be able to have an operation as he was so big because of his BMI. They later changed their mind as hes a body builder and muscle weighs more than fat so this BMI bussiness can sometimes be quite wrong. Most rugby players are very big but thats muscle popping out all over the place.

:shock: :oops:I split my salopettes in april they, they felt rather snug but thought hey i've already had them for about 16yrs.....they should still have some room to stretch.....but alas not

....mind you in the warm spring sunshine it did help with the cooling process somewhat.

a lady in our chalet one year was mortified that she couldn't ski nearly as well due to the fact that she'd put on quite a lot of weight since her last holiday. it completely ruined her trip but, on the plus side (no pun intended), she was determined to lose the weight for the following year.

I really hope she did, she was lovely :D
