A disastrous hairstyle, cold fingers and toilets in the basement. There are things that only winter sports enthusiasts know. We have collected 23 things that every skier and snowboarder can confirm.
Finally the first real snow on the mountains. Quickly pack your skis and snowboard and let's go! If you are an enthusiastic winter sportsman, most of these things and situations will be very familiar to you. :)
Only winter sports enthusiasts know these things:
-
The hairstyle fits ... never
Either the hairs are flattened by the helmet or cap, or they are so electrically charged by the clothing that they stand up in all directions. There is no middle ground.
-
Hello sore muscles
Every year the same. The muscle soreness after the first time skiing or boarding is pure hell.
-
Chipmunk Style
Sunburn on the forehead, cheeks and chin. Only the eyes remain beautifully white thanks to glasses. Looks great! No wonder - in the valley always fog and then suddenly so much sun.
-
The silence in the gondola
You sit in the gondola with complete strangers for at least 10 minutes. Everyone is silent. No one dares to say anything.
-
Ski poles
Where to put the ski poles at the drag lift? Especially at the exit it gets complicated
-
The WC is in the basement
Seriously, who came up with the idea of building toilets in the basement that you visit with ski boots? -
The lift ticket
The turnstile is in front of you. Everyone marches through easily and without a hitch. Only for you it doesn't work again. Take off your gloves - hope that no one lands in the snow and rub the card awkwardly on the scanner.
-
The ski boot fits
Finally put your foot in the shoe. Quickly close and ready. No, wait - too tight. Now too wide again. Somehow it doesn't fit right.
-
The dear nose
I drove 10 meters and my nose started to run. In which of the many pockets was the handkerchief again?
-
Always pack the wrong glasses
Today times with sunglasses on the road? The snowstorm will surely not be long in coming. Do you only have your sunglasses with you? Then you can be sure that the sun will blind you properly
-
Hello deep snow
With last strength the skis are dragged uphill. Understandable - here is the most beautiful deep snow
-
Take photos
A nice selfie on the slopes? Yes, that would be great. If only your fingers weren't so cold. Unfortunately, photos with ice-cold fingers don't work. Fortunately, with a little effort, it works.
-
Lip care for dead
You meant too well with the sunscreen. The lip balm makes you look more dead than alive.
-
Ouch!
From 50 km/h small gentle and beautiful snowflakes become real pinpricks
-
Minus degrees at the toilet
Ever heard of heating? Most WCs are freezing cold and much too narrow
-
Something always ends up in the bowl
The glasses, the scarf, the cap, the glove - something always has to go.
-
Gourmet cuisine
After a few hours on the slopes you are so starved that even a ready-made soup, for which you paid 6 euros by the way, tastes like 3-star cuisine.
-
The fear of something falling out of the chairlift
The cell phone, the handkerchiefs, the gloves or even yourself?
-
Hectic at the gondola
Do you know the hectic melee at the gondola? Everyone wants to quickly bug their skis and snowboards on the outside of the gondola. And then there are also ski poles everywhere
-
Wrong clothes
You're just always dressed wrong. Either too little or too much. But usually much too much. Already after 2 minutes in the hut you start to sweat.
-
Cold fingers and toes
You can do whatever you want. Either the fingertips are cold or the toes. Even the best gloves and socks won't help.
-
Apres ski
Seriously? Sweaty face, sticky hair, ski underwear, ski boots and that's supposed to get you in the party mood?
-
How do they do it?
Everyone else looks stylish and fit and you feel sticky, sweaty and totally unstyled.
