I like this:

Women, in general, learn skiing technique more quickly than men. I’ve found that women more readily understand, as in dancing, the importance of rhythm and harmony, whereas men try to ski with brute force. In class, women are better imitators who listen and learn more than men do. Also, let’s face it men, the girls work harder.

We get two whole runs in the afternoon, huh?

This hasn't changed much since 1961...SKI LIKE A GIRL!

That was great. Surprisingly, a lot still applies.

A lot still applies but somehow, times have changed ...

"If you have made two successful runs in the afternoon, enjoy your day’s victory before the fireplace instead of trying to squeeze in that third run."

I don't know if the "two run victory" was because of poor lift service, poor grooming, poor equipment, or poor stamina; either way welcome to the future and viva la difference!

Well, I was speaking in general terms ... dress in layers, yes. Wear stretch pants and a heavy sweater, not exactly. ;-)

And don't push it late in the day ... that is still good advice. I don't know exactly what time "lunch" is, or how long the "runs" are (there are runs in Europe that take me 45 min, and I'm not a slow skier), but the principle remains.
