Ski Into Love: some thoughts from an expert skier
Enjoying the show, it’s cute, exactly the fluff I need right now with a lot of stress in my life. But I have to say, as an expert skier I find myself absolutely dying at these characters who are supposed to be pros played by people who obviously are not. They really needed a better consultant on the show.
First of all no one is wearing their helmet right…do not wear a giant fuzzy hood under it. It won’t sit properly and won’t protect you properly when someone out of control takes you out.
The gaps between the goggles and the helmet, where I’m from that’s called a “gaper gap” (gaper meaning beginner but it’s slightly derogatory). No pro would be caught dead with one.
The avalanche on the barely steep slope 😭 also Wei Zhi would have been pinned against that tree and absolutely buried by the snow and likely asphyxiate. She would not be immediately running around looking for the ML. Speaking of the ML, getting swept up in an avalanche like that in trees would likely result in broken bones from hitting said trees. I have personally been in an avalanche and had to dig my friend out only from the waist down and let me tell you that snow is like concrete and a shovel is 100% necessary.
Anyways, just had to laugh a bit at it and hope others are finding it enjoyable too despite the somewhat unrealistic portrayal. I’m only a few episodes in so if anyone else out there is a skier I’d be interested to hear if you caught anything else!
PS why is it called Ski into Love when it’s all about snowboarding? The world may never know
