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 |

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.

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

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*. ![]() Joe Ramirez |
