White Hestra gloves gingerly lifted Oakley goggles to the brim of her Smith helmet. While brushing back her fur-lined hooded ski jacket she uttered a self-deprecating joke about her age. A hot mom was in the lift line.
You may find yourself paired with a hot mom on a chairlift. Do not be alarmed, they’re just like everyone else. Aside from the fact that they are cooler and more attractive than you. Their kids are way better skiers than you are. And their Suburban’s trim package is something you could only dream about.
As conversation starts up you will want to keep your wits about you. Avoid any discussion related to Real Estate. This is their wheelhouse. Whatever you think you know about real estate is incorrect in her eyes. Do not mistake sales pitches for flirting or even think about saying “It’s a buyers/sellers market”. Keep conversation light. Be prepared for the safety bar to be lowered without warning.
Here are some talking points you may want to have prepared:
- “Are those the Blizzard Sheevas?”
- Something about your knees not being as spry as they used to be.
- Comment on her heated boot liners.
- “I agree. The Look SPXs are better than the Pivots.”
- Something about Pinot Noir.
Keep your eyes forward. Poles out in front of you. Unload from the chair.
