Shakespeare was a skier?
 

Undoubtedly. He must have been - where else than rec.skiing.alpine would
he have learned about "a tale told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
signifying nothing."

Just a cast into the wind, expecting no one to take heart; but I feel I
must try (again) since the glory season is upon us:
When posts signify nothing you are not obliged to respond to the poster,
even if the sound and fury is directed at you.

Instead one can discuss more important topics: Shakespeare set his plays
all over Europe; but IIRC, none are set in the Alps. Does that mean
Shakespeare was not really a skier? He did set Hamlet in Denmark, where
they should have known about (choke) cross country skiing.
