Here we go again....
And all New Yorkers grew up in the Bronx, and will shank you for a hot dog.
as far as I know, they tell me,.. "You why did you move here?? Don't You have mountains in Vermont???" I say "You really don't appreciate the wasatch range very much & know how awesome it is."
Well maybe there'd be more but, but I keep telling the missionaries to F-off when they show up on my door step.... :D
L
they are too busy eating babies too ski
Huh. I thought they grew up in Brooklyn and will shank me for no reason at all.
It would make sense if Mormons came to Utah to be closer to the Tabernacle and such, while skiers came to be closer to the "greatest snow on Earth." It just seems like even if you are there for another reason, you'd tap the state's best natural resource.

There are way more LDS people that ski or board in this state than the one, two or three that you must be referring to.
I would respond to this thread, but I'm late for church!

Granted, there may be less of them skiing on Sunday's because they are attending church. Mormons also ride bikes, play football, baseball, soccer, go fishing etc. There is nothing in their religion saying they can't participate in outdoor and athletic activities. To ask why Mormons don't ski, especially in an area like Utah makes absolutely no sense. Some of my Utah friends used to tell me that if I was going to go skiing in Utah on a weekend, to go on Sunday because the crowds would be less; implying that the Mormons would be in church, which is to imply that Mormons do ski - alot of them. Obviously, Utah ski areas are still busy on Sunday's anyway because of all the other visitors as well.

For many folks it's just too expensive to outfit Mom, Dad, & multiple kids on one income, even if you do live here. I do however think it's one demographic that ski free after 3 appeals to..

You all have valid points, I just wanted to make sure ya'll knew that that the first post in this was a pretty stupid question.
I'm just sayin'
That's what I like about skiing Sundays at Targhee...it is often much less crowded than saturday, or in the afternoons that the Rick's kids come to ski.
I don't mind most mormons, I just can't stand the ones keep who trying to convert me, and don't look at situations from other points of view. I was raised Catholic, and I always looked at situation from another point of view, to get an accurate view.
I am stunned when people in SLC don't even go up LCC to hike, camp, or just to get out the city heat. I understand skiiing costs a lot of money, but most people in other cities are stunned when I tell them about this, when they have to travel a lot further to get into the wild.
Yeah yeah, whatever... let's get back to the Jello thing.Quote:

This is the kind of answer I was looking for. I'm not sure if it's true, but it's not immediately obvious, at least to me.Quote:

Really, I was asking whether Mormons are underrepresented on the slopes, and if so, why? Lonnie's answer addresses that question, but I suspect there might be more to it. Maybe not.
"Mormons" under-represented on the Slopes? Have you been conducting a slope side poll on religions and who gets to ski? I've noticed that not many Muslims or Jews seem to be on the slopes either because you can spot them from a mile away. I've also noticed that the underrepresented seem to be underrepresented on the slopes.
But the Mormons don't ski primarily because the special silk underwear garments they wear do not provide enough warmth. When it debuts in polypro next year I think you'll see a big influx of Mormons on the slopes.
Silk is a wonderfully insulative material...I don't believe that the MoMo undergarments are silk.
Can anyone clarify?
momo garments are made of Kevlar and spun tears from converted third world pagans.Quote:

What the hell would "underrepresented" even mean in this situation? And from where would you derive an expectation of annual Mormon skier visits in Utah?Quote:

Just saying that, just because Mormons are a certain percentage of the populace in Utah, that doesn't mean they would be expected to make up the same percentage of skier visits. I guess you could first conduct polls to find the average Utard skier profile, then see how many Mos fit that profile, and go from there. Personally, I'm too busy drinking caffeinated beverages to give a shit.
I was thinking you should just sue and let a malleable pool of sympathetic jurors calculate your fee... erm... I mean the award ;)Quote:
