Absolutely not! Boots, gloves and hat are mandatory.

Who knows? Stoos, a local ski resort, has just built a chair lift with heated seats for their Klingenstock run.

They are thinking of setting up hot tubs on the slopes.
Ski, tub, ski, alp hut, ski, tub, ski, alp hut, ski, tub, time to go home!

Talk about wellness and skiing in one package!

(This story was made up by yours truly.)

"What happens if you fall?" ...it's going to be one heck of a yard sale!

"What happens if you fall?" well it will depend on the size of your ski "pole"

Suggest you read Niven's "the Moon's a balloon" to understand the full import of what you propose

"Stoos, a local ski resort, has just built a chair lift with heated seats for their Klingenstock run." Klingenstock will not be a problem now

The guys should definitely think Seinfeld here .

George: Well I just got back from swimming in the pool. And the water was
cold...
 
Jerry: Oh... You mean... shrinkage.
 
George: Yes. Significant shrinkage!

Regards, Walter

This sounds like something that goes with a lot of schnaps. Don't post your pictures when you get back.

He's Austrian, of course.

I'm glad to see they already have enough snow for skiing in the Alps/Dolomites this year!

Remember, if frostbite is serious enough one might lose an appendage.

The title of this thread is "Can you ski naked in Italy?". My question is "would you want to and if so why?".
