Swimsuit skiing
 
Can you really ski in your swimsuit like in those commercials on a sunny day, or is that only true in the summer?

You can go water skiing in your swimsuit anytime you want, but I assume you are talking about snow skiing. Two years ago I went skiing in Flagstaff. The weather warmed up to about 68F one day. No swimsuit for me, but you certainly could have done it.

The areas in the west build up many feet of snow, which means that they often close in late spring for lack of skiers, not lack of snow. If you want to try swimsuit (or birthday suit) skiing, you had better be a good skier, as falling in the crusty spring snow would be no fun at all.

<BR>Spring skiing in the west can be done in a swimsuit if you are hardy enough. Seen many a bikini in April even in Montana!!!

I think I saw that in Switzerland. It was at Titlis.
