Skiing Terminology Defined...

" SKI RACK "

Detachable roof-mounted device designed to transport skis during a car trip to the mountains, the only run of any length during which they are likely to remain somewhat parallel, reasonably well balanced, properly pressured and competently steered.


" SNOW SNAKE "

Invisible, malevolent creature whom skiers blame for causing their falls. Other evil denizens of the slopes include the RACK RAT, who knocks over propped up skis; the POLE CAT, who snatches poles from skiers' hands on the chairlift; and the PISTE WEASEL, who tricks them into thinking they can ski down a ridiculously difficult course.
