THINGS I’VE LEARNED WHILE BEING IN A SKI CLUB

1. The human body is indeed a beautiful thing. Unless it’s 20 lbs overweight and stuffed into a Spandex Spyder suit on race day.
2. The human body can also be a very noisy and smelly place. That body inevitably belongs to your roommate.
3. Wait long enough and you’ll eventually see every member naked….unfortunately.
4. Girls. Fun. Drunk girls. Even more fun. VERY drunk girls. Not fun. Especially when they yell at you because you don’t understand SLUR.
5. Guests don’t understand the phrase ‘Pace Yourself’. See #4
6. Skiing/Snowboarding is the perfect cure for a hangover. If only the lifts would open at noon.
7. The ride up is definitely more enjoyable than the ride back.
8. Sleep is for the weak…or the very drunk.
9. Rules are meant to be broken, especially the one where you can’t mess with someone if they’ve made it to their room.
10. My definition of quiet and someone else's definition are actually quite different.
11. Never pay full price for your equipment or lift tickets.
12. ULLR is the Norse god of winter or snow and ODIN is the god of summer. Not many people know that. And except for a few days in November, nobody really cares.
13. Earplugs can be your best friend. So can a lock on your door.
14. Whipped cream is a delicious dessert topping….and a key ingredient in most pranks and sexual activities. You should, however, get a separate can for each and make sure they’re clearly marked.
15. If you haven’t done the ‘walk of shame’ at least once, then you need to rethink your game plan.
