“D.A.W.G.S” which means
Descending Accurately With
Grace and Style or Speed.
As 1 start my next run. 1 see a
yellow cross on a wine-colered
parka. The cross represents a
member of the ski patrol. He’s
waiting for hazardous skiers
who ski too fast and out of con
trol, or both.
He's just spotted me. but this
time. 1 am not pursued. If he
does catch me, he can warn me
verbally. If he catches me a se
cond time, he can pull my
ticket. I don’t like that. Ski
patrol members an; a part of an
elite team, and they are effective
for skier safety. They are the
mountain-area law.
I'm far enough away now. 1
switch to roach speed. I love
this part. I sometimes pretend
I’m being chased like in a James
Bond movie or a contender for
an Olympic gold medai.
I'm in control My body is
low for less wind drag, skis
shoulder width apart for more
stability. My hands are straight
out in front of me. so I keep my
weight slightly forward. Hup,
hup. hup. My legs are starting
to bum. I’m breathing heavily
— but I'm still smiling.
Skiing the bar
The lodge is coming into
sight. Time to ski the bar. This
sport is almost as excting as the
mountain sport. Now, 1 can use
a hockey slop for a dramatic en
trance; nobody really secs me or
pays any attention. After getting
my skis off, I separate them so
they are less likely to be stolen.
lust walking up the steps to
the lodge is a workout. The
lodge is big. wooden and noisy.
I see lots of faces, fashion and
laughter. Everybody is smiling.
1 go up another flight towards
the roar of the crowd. I order my
favorite imported beer. I see
some friends at a table by the
window. I sit and talk of the
need for new snow.
'Riding' Elevator Shaft
After I get to the top again. I
yell to some ski DAWGS to take
ihe Elevator Shaft, we all line
up with our tips hanging over
the edge. Gus is first. Me makes
it look easy. My turn: I make
four turns and yell hup! Hup! 1

fall so hard my skis coma off. 1
finally stop sliding. My climb
uphill to retrieve my skis — and
hat and glasses and poles — is
difficult. Now I need to put
them back on and catch-up.
We split up after the run.
They go back for one more. I’m
too tired after my hike, so I pack
everything up and go home to
rest before the party tonight.
All 1 need to do is get dressed.
A T-shirt with a ski slogan like
"Ski Kansas" will do. If it is bit
terly cold, I’ll wear a sweater
and a parka. A bandana is op
tional but a hat is mandatory,
leans, faded, of course, are
adquate.
1 thumb a ride to the front
door of the party. The music is
loud and a little obnoxious. I let
myself in and see Kim talking to
(lus. She waves at me and yells
that the beer is in the
refrigerator. I yell "thank you "
Floaters
I talk with guests about the
need for new snow. AS .more
guests show up. Kirn hands out
“floator." an imported freer as a
base and a stout freer on top.
They tBste great, and the party
starts hopping.
After we finish the floaters,
people begin jumping into
Kim’s pool. It is time for the
hairiest dive competition. The
winner has the biggest air. best
pose and worst splash. Phil wns
with his version of "St. Helens
Shaken, with a twist!"
Then someone yells "It's
snowing!" A cheer rings out
The dump! As it snows, we talk
of virgin powder and "figure
eights." The early bird catches
the first tracks so I decide it is
time to go home and dream of
tomorrow. When the powder is
its deepest, a snorkel comes in
handy.
Well, that's pretty much how
the frost or even the Worst days
of skiing will go: So, I'll pro
bably see you in the' fashion
parade or in the bar skiing I'll
he there, and we'il both la
