Bodywork: Snow Report 2004
I'm With Stupid (cont.)




Jerry should've known that it's no sin to quit at 2 p.m. if you start wiping out on runs you carved with ease earlier. Why? More injuries occur on Saturday afternoon than at any other time of the week.




A hot tub relaxes sore muscles, but soaking for longer than 15 minutes will exhaust, not rejuvenate, the body. Jerry had never heard that one, so he ended up a prune-skinned waste.





Jerry wasn't hungry, but he should've eaten and drunk a liter of water before hitting the bar. Tom enjoyed just three frothy pints, and he wisely quaffed a liter of H20 before bed. Jerry slammed a 12-pack of beer.




It can take as little as three days to acclimatize to 10,000 feet, which meant Sunday—38 hours after Tom and Jerry arrived—was the best time to try that leg-busting halfpipe 540 or huck off a 20-foot-high cornice.




Before stuffing himself into coach class for the flight home, Tom spent 30 minutes stretching, then treated himself to a burger and fries to fuel himself for the long trip. Jerry had to be helped home on a stretcher—not fun. The End.
