Someday you will be sitting at Christmas dinner and some 20's something cute
guy (a grand nephew?) will be bragging about how he crashed and froze as he
was skiing (or boarding) the direct route down "Vertical Death." And, you
will know how to knit him a hat to keep his poor balding head warm the next
time. Thereby, avoiding hearing a worse story next year, because he has
gotten balder! If you knit it in a bright enough color, Warren Miller may
take notice, and put it in his annual movie of wild snow sports!
