'I Ski Uphill," or 'Ski Uphill." Your choice.
Got a few new stickers. You can edit out the first person singular and make it a call to sustainable action social justice. If you want one, send email to our contact addy via “Contact” link above, and we’ll send you the address you can send a SASE to.

Nobody cares that you tele…
Michael Cares!
And if they don’t care if I ski uphill, then I cut off the “I” and tell them to do it themselves (grin). Lou
some riders simply put up with the downhill stuff, in order to get at the creme-de-la-creme, the uphill.
Skin to win, a take off the old Neptune sticker from decades ago.

Uphill skiing might not be as thrilling as the down, but it sure lasts longer…
Lou, Are you suggesting that the uphill is more tantric?
%^).
Jack, something like that!
Lots of people think that we (backcountry skiers) skin up cause we don’t want to pay for tickets. And probably that’s true for some. But for many that I know it’s simply the way we enjoy skiing.
It’s like saying “you ride a motorcycle to save on gas” :)) Surely some do but the majority in western world ride it cause it’s a different way to travel, the feeling is completely different.
How about “I SKI BOTH WAYS”?
+1 for “I SKI BOTH WAYS”
That’s pretty good Njord…
Njord, that’s great “I SKI BOTH WAYS’!
What about “SKI TOURERS MAKE BETTER LOVES” ?
KM
Correction:
“SKI TOURERS MAKE BETTER LOVERS” ?
Forgot the R in LOVERS
SASE in route. May need to edit out the I and uphill, a more general call to action.
