    I have a problem.
    I’ve been ski racing since I was six years old (I’m 14) And, well, like it’s an intense sport. I’m in the program alot of famous Canadian olympians where in when they where my age.
    The thing is, we all use Auclair or Leki gloves, which are leather. I’m skiing anywhere from 4-6 days in a week, and normal fabric gloves just don’t hold up :/ The leather gloves unfortunatley hold out water and keep in heat the best, and like it’s just customary for people to have leather gloves. I used my last year’s pair this year, but they are starting to fall apart and get to small.
    Any advice? I’m not sure how much longer I’m actually going to keep up ski racing, I’m going to quit as soon as I find something I’m actually pretty good at and have a talent for (I’m like completly talentless. I’m not really good at doing anything..) but anyways I still need some cruelty really warm (like -25 degrees celcuis) sturdy water proof gloves. I know-its alot to ask for :$

    Life summary : I love animals even more than people

  • jpatr1d

    I have always loved animals, no matter what shape,size, color, species they are. I started as a vegetarian a few years ago, but i only knew that i didn't want to eat animal. i stoped for a while when i lost my job and ate what i could. no excuse i know. but soon later to realized my mission in life and purpose. i am here to be the voice of those who do not speak human. i changed my outlook to this because i found a boxer mix dog laying under my porch. she had gotten hit by a car and was severely starved. everyone around me was like leave it alone, you don't know where it came from, but i didn't care i had to save her. i rushed her to the emergency vet clinic where they did immediate surgery on her. despite those peoples commentary i saved a dogs life and from that point on i knew that if people treated a dog that way i wonder how people treat non domestic animals. I researched and came across peta2 where i now am an animal activist and vegan. I continue to help and save animals that i find and plan on never changing my ways for any one.
