Skiing in Sand - A Tale?
Login
That little voice inside told me not to do it,,,,but I did!
I took out my Skiing Magazine in that very small airport,,you know the kind with two soldiers with Kalis on the ready.
Sand and skiing do not mix and I wanted to blend in.
Seconds into my article about the new 2009 skis, I hear, "do you mind?" A 30ish male British man asked. What can I say, "I thought" as he sat down beside me! "I ski a lot and see you have the lates ski news" he says. We do not have this edition yet.
"Do you ski" he asks. What a question,,,I think. "yes a little" I reply.
So we chat about this ski, that resort, that skier and he then drops the bomb,,,,,,"Ever heard of J2ski site"???????
I pause to think, take a deep breath and reply slowly,,,"J.... 2..... Ski. No"
"Well that is the site to visit. Best damm site on net and British" he says! "Really" I answer.
So for the next 45 minutes,,he tells me about this site and its members. As he begins to tell me ,,I surreptiously put my mic on so that I can share with you this "unique" glance into what others think you you!
This post will have several "sections" since I have to listen to his "lecture" and condense some of his comments. In short I will try to present his perceptions and comments about several well know members on this site.
( If you recognize your comments and stories Mr. J2ski Expert,,please feel free to join the many "reactions" to this posting.
I will try to give 2-3 personality "profiles" presented to me by the skier expert at this airport!
The order of presentation is his not mine!
Tony (hofmeister) ak. "the deal man",,ak "open book"
You are all wondering why the open book? What other man on the net tells the world he wears boxer shorts under long underwear. What other man tells the world on net that those boxers are CK. More ,,what other man shares with the skiing world that, "sometimes he is too warm ( in those lower areas) and lets the "boys" roam free while skiing!
Tony ( according to this man) is a handsome "hollywood looks" curly haired man who looks 24 yet is in to 40ths. He started skiing in the 30s and now is trying to catch up! He works out swiming since his knees are "weak" and although he tries to be in shape,,,,he still feels those aches when the slope demands more from him! He has two wo children girl and boy and great wife who he loves very much,,So much that he takes her to Santorini on their wedding anniversary!
Although in his 40ths he is still in his mind 23. Very much aware of the "status" materials,,yet is not willing to spend the real money to get them. Thus the "label" the deal man! He spenfs hours looking for the deal on planes fares,,even getting his son a join with Thomas Cook so that he can get "family" rates!!!!
Beer is very much central to his life and often there is a conflict in choosing beer or wife as best "detente"!He even takes pictures of just a beer glass while on ski holiday!
His Blizzard skis indicate he has not yet "sampled" la crème de la crème in skis but at the pace he is going he will taste heaven soon. Well it depends if he jumps off more cliffs he might be in heaven before trying those "better" skis!
Yes he is handsome but he is also "humble" ( before you all gag collectively,,let me explain)! According to this man who has been "following" Tony's many comments,,,,Tony has publicaly, stated, "I take it back,,,,you are right. My apologies!!! What a man! rare do we see such honesty.
He is also very kind and thoughful. Even asking others to send "cheerful messages" to others who have had knee problems!
You thought he was "an open book" because of those coments about his "boxers"!!!! No no,,,,he gets even more "personal" says my fellow traveller! Seems he shares with all his phobias! Fear of flying. Fear of jelly fish Fear of fog,,, and there is something about railroads! According to this J2ski site expert Tony has strange pictures of railroad rails in strange positions. Freudian theory might be "applicable here" noted the airport expert! I was given Tony's site where he has many pictures of these strange rails here and there and everywhere!!!! Who takes 10+ pictures just of rails!!!!
In short 70% of Tony posts On J2ski are on deals for planes, for resorts, for clothing, for boots, so according to this expert go see Tony for the latest deal! He knows them!
Rumors are also that his wife was a "deal" since he found it too expensive to travel alone!
A happy man is Tony! What other man has a best friend,,, a women!
A man in the 40s who still lingers for Verve, still is "competitive" and goes for the "silver" rather that the bronze!
Tony,,if you are reading this,,you have a fan in the foreign office who his envious of all your skiing trips, your black curly hair, your wife,,,,,but not your skis!
After 30 minutes of dissertation on Tony,,this skiing expert tells me how to get on this this J2ski site,,just to confirm that a Tony does exist! ( Seems I has too quiet,,while listening to his comments about Tony)
After a pause,,,,some silence he tells me, "There are others,,who really are interesting"
"There is this Freezywater" he states. "What did you say" I asked?
He replies, "if you think Tony with his CK boxers is interesting, this Freeztwater is another level"!
"What do you mean" I ask? "Well Freezy water" is special! Seems his name comes from his great desire for a few pints and a weeeee dram. Seems he gets "iregular"
I interrupt the lecture at this point, with "do you mean he has problems with his bowels"?
"No no,,,,he just lets his ID take over after a few beers and then talks about his great wife who has 36" leg, changes ski jackets every year, and since he has eyesight problems he makes sure his wife has ski jackets that really really "stand out" on the slope! Mind you with a 36" leg and 6'2" beautiful face and that smile who needs a "bright ski jacket"! She is a head turner like that women who offers free skis!!!!!
To entice me to visit this J2ski site,,this new found ski friend tells me in a "quiet" voice that it is "interesting" to visit this site not only for skiing information ,,but also to keep up with all the juicy information! "Here is one" he says.Seems Freezywater has no children ( skiing too much) but now is realy really trying to catch up to Tony!!!!!!
And when he takes a weeee bit of a dram,,,,his mind goes off into other realms such as thinking about pregnant women skiing! What man thinks about such things!!!! Freezywater does!
Now for the clincher about Freezywater. Are you ready?
(I want you all to note the order here)
His motto????
Ski lots
drink lots
have lots of fun.
No wonder he still does not have children. After skiing lots,,,then drinking lots,,,,,(and checking Google about pregnant skiers) well then having lots of fun is short!!!! Very short!!! Too short some would say!!!!
This second "profile" took another 30 minutes and by this time I really was interested in the J2ski site expert,,so I "fixed" my seating to be close to him during the flight!
In the next installement you will hear his "comments" about Ellistine, Mike, Davemac and Gordies ski!Seems he know them very well!He promised me that they all are even better than the first two!
In the third presentation you will have Thor ( the god who hurls thunder bolts from heaven), and AJ among many more!!!!
Will we get to know at the end who the J2 skier is?
I am so nosy :lol:
I hope so. I am fascinated by someone who "lets his boys roam free", has curly hair, and who has pictures of "railroads" on some website.
Otherwise, I would have thought it was me he was talking about......

What a storyteller Pavel.
This really happened:
It is about ten years ago. I'm sat in an old pub at the bottom of the Niederau slopes, sadly now closed, quietly drinking my lunchtime pint of milk, and just thinking what a great place the world is. A guy comes into the pub, orders a beer, wanders across and sits on the vacant seat next to me.
"Hi," he says, "I'm Tony, you don't know a guy called Dave Mac do you?"
"Aye, I do."
"I hear he comes to Niederau quite a lot."
"I heard that too, I think he likes it here."
"I wouldn't mind catching up with him, if you see him, let him know"
"I will do that ", says I, drained my milk, shook his hand, picked up my gloves, and put on my woolly hat.
That's the hat that has "Dave Mac" written across the front......
