Skier Gets the Bum Rush
As reported on TheSmokingGun.com, an unidentified skier attempted to ride Vail Mountain's Skyline Express Lift on New Year's Day -- and somehow got caught on the chair and ended up suspended -- with his pants down!
"I was there during the incident and now am probably losing my job for having the photos published in the local paper," the shutterbug behind the popular picture revealed to "Extra."
The skier, whose identity is being withheld by Vail Mountain, was stuck upside down for approximately seven minutes while Vail Ski Patrol attempted to get him down. The man, 48, walked away from the incident uninjured -- after risking frostbite in all the wrong places!
