That would be moi. Ski Mama Maximus.

I am also leading the finest SKI SWAP around at Hyland Hills Ski Area next Friday from 5-10 and all day Saturday. That's Hyland Hills in Bloomington right down the street from the big ski jump on 494 (you can almost see it from downtown).

Unlike a typical hockey parent (or political poster mom for the cause), I am bright enough to speak in polished syntax while I purchase lightly used world-class equipment for my whole family at 85% OFF RETAIL.

That's right, you don't have to be a Ski Racing Mom like myself to outfit yourself or your family with complete 1-year old ski packages (including boots) for $175.00.

And unlike a typical hockey parent, I don't have to wear a large, oversized button picture of my kids on my pullover jacket to cover up the extra pounds I've put on since High School. Because I HAVEN'T. HA!

That is because I DO SKI RACE. Heck I can even eat pizza and work it off (instead of huddling under an oversized bra at the hockey rink). So perhaps its time you discovered the other winter sport.

Then tell the "other woman" where she can stick it.

Seriously, there is no cheaper or more fabulous way to buy ski and snowboard equipment--this SWAP has grown by 150% in the last two years due to word of mouth. Those who know, go.
