I do not know how to ski, yet, and I don't really want to > go, Deb, as an average skier who ski's about once a year, I'll tell you DEFINITELY DON'T TAKE A WALKMAN!!!! It's extremely dangerous. You have so many people that are coming up from behind that will say "to your left" or "to your right". It's like driving with a Walkman. Enjoy the sounds of nature (and approaching skiers behind you). When you get back to your cabin or lodge........light a fire, drink some wine, and listen to anything by Joni (then make passionate love) :~) Jimmy
