Telling time on the slopes
 

Department of trivialities: Those of you who like to keep track of the
time when you're on the slopes -- how do you do it? I can't wear a
wris****ch because I wear long gloves with wrist protectors underneath.
It's impractical to place a watch in a warm interior pocket because
getting it out would require too much unzipping and fumbling. What I do
is put it in an exterior jacket pocket high on my chest, where it's
least likely to get banged when I wipe out. I can take it out for a
glance fairly easily, but I'm concerned that exposure to the cold (the
outer pocket is not insulated) may eventually damage it.

I check the time as I board the lift. The lift house always has a big
clock glaring at you...

GSM in a snowboard jacket pocket which is accessible with gloves. I might
get a call anyway, and it tells time too.

When the lift closes, it's time to go :)

Look at the sun in the morning..

Sun? What is this "sun" thing of which you speak?

I just wear a watch under my glove. Plenty of time on the lift to peel
back the gauntlet and look at the time.

I don't remember seeing one around here, but maybe I haven't been
paying attention. :) Will look more carefully next time.

I've employed this useful system on occasion, particularly for night
sessions. :) Yesterday, however, my son had a basketball game
scheduled for the evening and kept asking me what time it was so we
would be sure to leave early enough.

Yesterday, not only was there no sun here, but with the snow gun
blowing away at the top of the lift hill, there wasn't even any *sky*.
