Lucky me - I'm skiing with a snowlerblader tomorrow - WWMD

**InspectorGadget** · 03-08-2006, 10:33 PM

Ordinarily I wouldn't ski on a work day unless. . . .

I've invoked the powder clause.
There are maggots involved.
I'm skiing with someone that refers business to me.

Tomorrow I'm skiing with someone that has the potential to refer some big deals my way. No, it's not AG or Lumpy. I've never skied with this person and have no idea how well she skis. Late this afternoon we're firming up plans for tomorrow and she asks me "What kind of skiing do you like to do?"

I'm a bit taken aback and I say "I'm an equal opportunity skier, I like it all." (Which is a white lie, but that is beside the point.) She brightens up and says "Perfect, I'm a snowlerblader! I took it up seven years ago and now I can really keep up."

If Red Baron's forecast still holds for tomorrow, I'm going to be faced with a true dilemma. Do I:

A.) Ditch the snowlerblader?

or

B.) Make nice and wait for her at the bottom of lift?

wait for her IF she can help your buisness, but hide your face so you don't get laughed at. If not, take her to a place that cliffs out and ditch her

C). Wait for her to turn her back, take her Newports out of her fanny pack, and use the lighter to set her Cowboys jacket on fire.

Ski with a skiblader for a big deal or not.

Ask TGR for input.

You're from Gapicski you stupid toolbox. Shut the fuck up, bend over and take it from the man like you've been conditioned for.

**ptavv** · 03-08-2006, 11:08 PM

Wait, I forget, are there friends or business on a powder day?

**shugs** · 03-08-2006, 11:21 PM

This is the funniest thing I have ever read!

How about telling her that snowblading is no longer allowed and she has to borrow some skis...

**ak_powder_monkey** · 03-08-2006, 11:29 PM

easy meet up with her, tell her on the lift that if you get seperated meet at x location for lunch at x time. Ditch her ski pow go to arranged meeting, ect.

Village Idiot -

AKPM - for once something you posted is the right call. there is hope...

**Cornelius** · 03-09-2006, 12:09 AM

Suck it up and ski with her because she might make you money so you can ski more and work less in the future. At least its a girl (and not a dude on snowlerblades) and it beats working. Just make sure that at the top of each run that she understands which lift you're skiin down to so you can complete full runs without waiting and talk business on the lift.

shoot the hostage .....

**truth** · 03-09-2006, 12:21 AM

Maybe she rides fat blades.

**shirk** · 03-09-2006, 12:23 AM

Wow AKPM said something I agree with.

Damn... I'm impressed!

**The Word** · 03-09-2006, 12:25 AM

Bring your blades out of hiding and use them. Don't feel guilty!

**ill-advised strategy** · 03-09-2006, 12:29 AM

bring whiskey and powdercords...

Hillarity will surely ensue

C.) Smoke her HARD right out of the chute in a way that immediatly establishes that 'skiing' is a very generous way to describe her 'keeping up' with you, then spend the rest of the day waiting as politely as possible with a smile, leaving her with little doubt that you are a wonderful person who goes out of his way to be curteous, professional, and blah blah blah insert touchy feely buzzword here.

But if she's been blading it up or whatever for 7 years!?! you're pretty much fucked regadless.

I made the mistake once of believing an ex-gf when she told me she was a 'pretty good' skier. 2 hours, 3 patrolers, and a snowmobile ride later, I was no longer getting laid. I'm sure the same applies to business - good luck.

This needs more detail

Maybe she rips on snowlerblades.

**InspectorGadget** · 03-09-2006, 08:02 AM

It's snowing pretty hard.

And I laugh every time I think about how giddy she was on the phone.

I have to say, AKPM, your post is wise beyond your years.

**ill-advised strategy** · 03-09-2006, 08:07 AM

have you considered the possiblity that she rips, she was just fucking with you, and she'll show up with 189 seth pistols?

**bklyn** · 03-09-2006, 08:07 AM

1. Depends on if she is hot looking or not.

2. What AKPM said.

**teledave** · 03-09-2006, 08:27 AM

Show up like this (BTW, that's a Starter jacket)

**The Dad** · 03-09-2006, 08:41 AM

Like so many others, this thread is useless without pics.

That said, AKPM has a good idea if she is as advertised, and Yetiman holds out the candle of hope.

Barring either of those, suck it up, biyotch -- yer gettin to ski on a weekday, which is more than many of us can say.
