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. Joe Ramirez |

Telling time on the slopes
I check the time as I board the lift. The lift house always has a big
clock glaring at you... wrote: 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 might get a call anyway, and it tells time too.

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. Joe Ramirez |

So what you really needed was to know when it was a specific time, not to be able to tell the time in general. Set an alarm on your mobile phone, then you don't need to remember to keep checking. I could try that, but I don't think I would hear the alarm go off in the parking lot when I am on the hill. Joe Ramirez |
