There are times when an unfortunate disparity of temperament cannot be foreseen, but that this is an appreciable hazard is clear. A rugged individual may veer from the chosen route, forget to help around camp, and revel in his unpredictability while the rest of the party suffers. For that reason it is well that the organizer of a trip should know men as well as materials. Preparation.—From equipment and food lists the skier may compile an inventory of the items which he feels he must have if he is to enjoy his trip, remembering that the question isn't what he can use, but what he can do without. This list may well be framed on the closet door, or its equivalent, of the ski storeroom in the home. Thus is one certain to remember every necessary item. This may seem an inconsequential detail at first, but many is the ski trip which has been impaired by oversight, some member neglecting to bring an obvious necessity—the butter, the salt, or the emergency ski tip. |
