Like working 10 minutes away from the beach.<g> What's the skiing equivalent of 'Surf's up'? Geronimoooooooooooo?

Well, there was an advertisement by one of the ski equipment companies back in my youth (in the 70's) that showed a tanned, large chested, blonde girl wearing ski boots, skis and a bikini. She was crouched over in the skiing position with plenty of cleavage showing as the focal point of the poster. The slogan was: "Remember to keep those tips up".

So if I say the equivalent of "surf's up" for skiing is "keep those tips up" - you have to envision what that advertisement meant to all of us young bucks who were hoping to handle such lovely "mountains". ;-)

Now that I'm a family man and skiing involves the safety of keeping my 9 year old and 6 year old on the trails and out of the trees, I have other slogans I use depending on the occasion.
