Ski Sickness

Today we try to make amends with Google. The following site doesn't quite have it right.

Ski Sickness?

The lack of oxygen in higher altitudes may cause you have [sic] 'ski sickness'. Ski sickness is characterized by headaches, nausea, dizziness, fatigue, insomnia, loss of appetite, and vomiting.

Skiers coming from sea level locations should allow time for their bodies to adjust before going to the higher peaks.


Some seek Ski Sickness, rushing from sea level to lofty heights, gourmets gorging on gradient gluts, steeps sluts, adrenaline-addled addicts. A rant typical to one of these degenerates can be found here.

SS,

If you would like to see a discussion that beats a definition out of some of the ski sickened sickness skiers, look no further than Right here

Some people would rather call it extreme skiing.

Thanks for the link, TB.

Ski Sickness is the feeling that comes with true Ski Mountaineer-Errantry.

More like "the disease that causes" than "the feeling that comes with," actually.
