I am going skiing next weekend. I am a very good skier.
Spent several years as a 'ski bum' in Vail. Just laying the groundwork. I don't think I would carry my P229, just too big. Anyone out there packing on the hill? I live 10 minutes from Eldora ski resort. Crazy stuff happened this winter, http://www.dailycamera.com/news/2008/dec/30/sheriff-investigating-shooting-near-eldora/ Not that I think I will be involved with some bizarre disgruntled employee, but I carry quite often. Thoughts? |

Why not??
You're not likely to print 
I can remember the last time I fell skiing, it was the most painful  prolly 10 years ago. It was my knee that went, body impact wasn't an issue.
I skied to the ski patrol check-up place (it took a while), the ski-doc was more interested in my CCW than my knee, so I left and hit the lodge bar (bad idea in the grand scheme of things). |

"Active shooter" at a Colorado ski resort in December. Just because ski resorts are a serene setting doesn't mean they are immune to violence. http://www.dailycamera.com/news/2008/dec/30/sheriff-investigating-shooting-near-eldora/ Do a Google search for "ski resort shooting" or "ski resort assault" and you'll find that ski resorts do have their share of shootings, assaults, robberies and sexual assaults. |
| Just a thought, consider carrying in an inside jacket pocket. It's not as fast to access, but you are a lot less likely to fall on it if you do take a spill. It also eliminates any problem with your jacket riding up. This was my usual snowboarding carry technique when I lived in CO. |

My friends think something is wrong with me because I carry everywhere I go! Yeah, well just let them ponder how Columbine would have been different if a few teachers were carrying. Or Virginia Tech. On and on. I say, the more of us that do, the better off everyone is. Even the sheep that complain about it. I'm on the same page. More power to you bro! |
