No. The question was "What makes you think that you are a skier?"
Butter brain.

You have to ask the Mighty Dream of Butter.

Yes, and I'll call you right
after New Years. Perhaps I can
drag you up to Alpine Meadows
for a few turns with LAL, who
also can ski.

Ah, but *is* lal a skier? And why do you think he is? And does he
think he is? And why do you think he thinks he is, if indeed you
actually think he thinks he is?

It's obvious from the qf that merely engaging in the act of skiing does
not make one "a skier".

or something...

Looks like you've come to the right place then!

I'll have to say, you've set the bar pretty low for being a skier, as
your definition fits everyone from Jean-Claude Killey to a 5 year old at
their first day of ski school.

If you are not skiing at the moment, are you truly still a skier?

If so, how long does skier-ness last between times of actually being
skiing?

IF a former skier dies, did he stop being a skier the moment he last
took off his skis?
