Inspired by the viral post Don’t Date a Girl Who Travels.
She’s the one with the hat hair and the strong, muscular legs. The girl that tans only in one place: from the tip of her nose to the base of her chin. The closest she’s gotten to a feminine piece of clothing all winter is a powder skirt, but she doesn’t need any frills to look good. Forget the latest runway styles and designer shoes, she’s got drawers full of crochet hats and a closet full of technical fabrics in a rainbow of colours. Gor-Tex is to this girl what silk is to the fashionista.
Date a girl who skis. She’ll be the one to wake you up for the first chair and drag you to the dive bar for apres ski. She’ll always be up for a laugh and can probably chug a beer faster than all the boys. Adventure is her middle name and she knows no shame. She will challenge you: steeper, faster, higher. She won’t be afraid to take chances and will take every opportunity to show you up, because she can. Don’t look behind you, the girl who skis will always be ahead. She knows there is no such thing as friends, much less boyfriends on a powder day.
She wants not for much. A date involving some turns and a burger will likely impress her. Don’t expect a lady; she’ll frequently erupt into thunderous laughter, ketchup trickling down her face. It’s not etiquette she commands, but the mountain.
So date a girl who skis, if you dare. Keep up with her and you’re half way there.
Happy Valentine’s Day, lovers!
Winter is coming,
