Quizz for Women Skiers

Hi Pavel,

Confirm Karen72's observation, the jacket picture did not appear in the initial posting.

Having seen it, I quite fancy that jacket myself. I have a lightweight Berghaus for March/April skiing, yours looks more stylish.

Would you accept an entry from a Davina Mac?

DaveMac,
Of course you can try to win this jacket ( as all men can), however you will get "fierce" competition since I suspect women will want to win this one for the jacket but also to show men skiers on this site that they can research with Goggle as well as men. Also they will get some items faster than you!I suspect also they will "discover" some problem solving strategies to help them get answers!

Have fun men!

I have just finished selecting all the questions for the quizz and I must make one hint and comment to all of you!

One of the questions is a picture à la Pavel! That is, there are many ski objects which I feel a women must have (on a ski trip) Some objects women will identify right away! There is one object which I am sure you all will say is a cell phone!
If you really kew me,,you would not even consider this!

So I am pro-active and telling all participants that the top right object in picture IS NOT a cell phone!

I am sure the picture will generate lots of discussion! The really really sharp women will quickly note the items in the picture. The really exceptional women skier will also note the more "difficult" items! I expect a women like Bandit to get all the items! We will see!

Sunday.
I have sent to Dave ( site Guru) the first item on quizz. It will be posted for Monday morning.

Allow me to set context of this item.

You are a women who has decided to go on ski holiday by yourself (or with another women) specifically to improve your skiing level a "quantum" step! In short you want ski for yourself and really "soar" for one week with a private ski instructor! Your goal is to become an "efficient skier"!

You will see 10 articles you should always bring with you on such trips! You must name 9 out of 10 articles or their function in order to get question right.

These articles are not "women specific" thus the men who wish to try to win this quizz may identify the articles!However women will "perceive" some items faster than men!

PS. There is a "cultural" or regional bias in some of these items enjoy discovering what these items are for and why they are so needed!

Aw....methinks that Google is going to be pretty useless on this one....is there any tips on where an 'only been once' skiier might get some hints or ideas for answers???!!!! :lol:

Goerdieski,
If you are an "outdoor women", a women that thinks ahead you will have no doubt identify at least 4 items.

I like to make people think so yes some items you will have to ask others what they are!

All are functional, all are "essential" for the modern women! Where the discussion will occur will be on the type of skier and women you are! I belive all well rounded skier (women) should have these items on every trip!

Think outside the box!
Have a "large" viewpoint.
Think like an "independant" women!
Be ready for,,,,,,,

One item will cause British and European women "problems" due to packaging! I can assure all women that ALL women skiers have this item and use this item a great deal while skiing!!! (just not this prized very item)
It will be one of the surprise items hidden in the coat!

I will have to warn my boss that he may not get much work out me this next week then... :lol: If the last quiz is anything to go by at least!!!!

are theses just items that you would take to the slopes with you to be used on the slopes whilst skiing or items that will be used on the holiday all week, on OR off the slopes?

AND

was that the question?

So do I need to gather my answers now? was the question what are 10 items women need for skiing? and what is Dave going to post tomorrow?

Karen

My my we have some early starters for this quizz!

Dave will post (insert a picture) in the first question on Monday!
All participants will see picture at same time and will have to identify or explain what the function of these items are!

Yes it is withing the context of a ski week! A successful ( happy) ski week, involves not just skiing on slopes!

If I was to "look into" (which I am never allowed to do so) my wife's or girls ski bags I will find these items!

Using Google for this first item may be useful if you look very carefully at items and perceive key elements of item! For non-North American skiers one item will cause you "concern",,how ever you will have learnt a very important item that you must sample at least once in your lifetime!

Have fun!
