BeirutStateofMind happened upon this sign after escaping a few near death experiences on the slopes of the Cedars a couple of weeks back, mainly due to the appearance of an out of control Frank Rijkaard sporting a fluorescent 1970’s “kil-u sawa” (onesy) on the piste. Still, it was nothing compared to last year when we had the pleasure of sharing a ski-lift journey in Faraya with a man clad in only speedos.
In an exclusive with BeirutStateofMind Rijkaard revealed that he first tried skiing last year during a Night Sky party in The Cedars. In what turned out to be a relative baptism of fire, Rijkaard, unaware, of common chairlift practice, failed to dismount the machine upon reaching the summit of the slope. Cries of reprimand mixed with mild concern from the machine's operator then led Rijkaard to make a heat of the moment decision. As the chairlift began its descent, he jumped, plummeting 10ft onto the slope. Rijkaard, a self-confessed adrenaline junkey, says that from this moment on he knew skiing was for him.

| Despite claims to have fallen in love with the sport Frank Rijkaard's skiing technique left a lot to be desired. |

| That is not Frank Rijkaard. |
