Mr. Unlost and I were ski patrollers some years ago... I can't imagine this happening...

    It wasn't THAT long ago.

    I'm into all black, except the red parka with the big white cross on the back. Gets you to the front of the lift line every time! ;)

    And I never, ever had those giant furry boots... :cry:

    Well, this thread has taken a decidedly irreverent turn.

    Back to the issue at hand _ the cable popped off the wheel. Everybody fell, then some were lucky enough to bounce back up. Like a bungee ride, only much colder. Apparently the unlucky ones did face plants from a signficant height.

    And I never, EVER owned moon boots.

    But Mr. Unlost had crazy gym pants in the early 90s. Remember these?

    You're wearing those pants right now.

    You know it.

    I know it.

    We all know it.

    And, since it's you, I'm sure it's... commando

    Ummm, constructing a fantasy figure in that bucket hat, are we Mr. Dissidentman? You seem a little... enthusiastic in your line of questioning.

    As the Men's Journal war raged on over on the AET, some 220 people continue to dangle above the slopes at the ski resort, idly wishing they had opted instead for a Caribbean vacation...

    I foresee a whole lot of complimentary lift tickets and vouchers for the lodge... personally, I'd hold out for a bunch of beer and a seat at the bar. You can't fall quite as far if you stay on a barstool...
