Carry when skiing

[Deserteagle]

Does anybody else carry while skiing? I got a nice vertical shoulder holster that I want to try carrying with next time I ski.

Not sure how ANY holster will feel if you end up tumbling head over heels down a mountain side getting every inch of your body pounded.

I wore a hip holster when hiking and had an incident that involved not quite a mountainside slide. Took most of the evening to clean up the aftermath. Still have the scar on my hip and my pride. :-/ Won't wear it that way again when the possibility of a fall is present.

I've never tried one, but you might want to look into a chest holster. Like the WWII tankers wore. It's like a shoulder harness that adjusts enough to hoist the holster to your chest area. If you fall and tuck your arms in you'll cushion the holster and your chest vitals.

Just a thought.

Yeah I could see the need to pack while skiing. There might be some snipers pecking at you from a helicopter and if Bruce Willis isn't there to save you, you better be packing!

Lol I wasnt thinking quite along those lines but lets just assume we are following a "Rather have it and not need it than need it and not have it" mentality. Otherwise we could go on all day making fun of where people carry.

Good find. I am going to officially "like" your post for the (probably) first time ever haha.

Skiing is the last place I would have thought of carrying but I could see coming back to the cabin after an exhausting day of hitting the slopes and finding an intruder in there, so it would be a good idea. I carry whenever it is legal to do so.

Lol being trolled on the 2nd comment felt a little too early in the thread, but then again, I think its a good way to measure our unemployment rate. When unemployment is low, threads wont be trolled on until later because everyone is busy. When unemployment is high, posts are trolled on instantly. Therefore, I blame Obama for your troll.
