Ski-anonymity?

Have you noticed how hard it can be to spot a friend, a neighbor or a celebrity skiing anywhere on the slopes? 

Since today (at least in America) most mountain visitors wear a helmet, goggles and a mask, it’s virtually impossible to know who is behind the attire, unless you’ve followed, heard or know extremely well the person either by their ski style or the color combination and originality of the clothes they wear.

That’s when you come to the evidence that if one needs to exercise incognito, skiing or snowboarding might be the best activities for that! Nothing says this better than Michelle Obama, our former First Lady who hated the both her fishbowl-like and security-heavy existence at the White House. 

She wrote: “The most liberating activity of all turned out to be downhill skiing, a sport with which I had little experience but that quickly became a passion,” She paid multiple visits to Liberty Mountain, a small Pennsylvania ski area where, with her friends, she could “don helmets, scarves, and goggles and blend into any crowd.” 

So, if you too famous or too easily recognized, winter-sports might be your activity of choice!
