First description of the ski stick, 1555.
Don't be passive, but get proactive and make your skis stick.
I found I could get along remarkably easily by using my walking sticks like ski sticks.
Skis that stick or slide backward make skiing impossible.
Families can cycle, canoe, surf or water-ski, or stick around the site and get competitive over a football, basketball or volleyball game.
Silverton's ungroomed atmosphere has its own exclusivity; ruggedness keeps the average ski bunny sticking to kiddie slopes elsewhere.
Quidditch brooms, skis, lacrosse sticks or even books can be used as shelving materials, as long as they're stable and anchored to a wall, as I found while completing such a project not long ago.
The souped-up sled's skis were sticking straight out over an abyss with nothing but air and a 60-degree slope between them and the valley floor 150 feet below.
If you are skiing alone, always stick to groomed trails and let others know when you plan to be back.
For the ascent, the heel of the binding detaches from the ski, as with a cross-country or telemark ski, and you stick a climbing skin, which is a reusable adhesive strip with mohair or nylon on one side, to the base of each ski (people used to use real seal skins); the grain prevents you from sliding backward.
Some people will use slalom skis, but I stick to cross-country.
