Better Late Than Never!

March 20th, 2009Just For Fun, Snowboard News, Snowboarding, VailAs I was sitting at my desk today, counting down the minutes until my weekend, I came across an old email I never opened. An email that made my Friday and I am sure will make yours! The pictures speak for themselves; but nonetheless – here is the story…
—————————————————————————————————————————————–
The bizarre event took place back in January when a male skier, 48, and his son loaded onto Vail’s Blue Sky Basin Lift. Unfortunately, the fold-down seat on the lift was not lowered all the way down, causing the man to fall through the resulting gap.
As you can see, the poor man, his pants, his skis and pride were instantly caught in an embarrassing tangle with the chair lift. As the nude man was hanging upside-down from the lift for nearly 10 minutes, with his young son (who is surely, scarred for life from this incident!) and now an entourage of entertained passerby’s watching, the lift began to reverse as the onlookers gathered ‘round to save the day.
The struggle continued as it took the innocent bystanders quite some time to, as The Smoking Gun puts it, ‘successfully dislodge the unidentified man.’
If this does not make your Friday afternoon after a long week, well, then you are your own!
