Skiing

I had a great Christmas, got to spend time with all my family, and after Christmas I got to go skiing at Monarch Ski area with my daughter Clair. Now I don't know if you have noticed the current fad at ski areas, but you ride the lift and anywhere there is a nearby tree people toss their Mardi Gras beads into the tree to hang on the branches like Christmas decorations. And that is all fine and good and even sometimes they toss a bra or thong underwear for all to see and that is even somewhat titillating to imagine the girl that must have been wearing it before tossing it. But one one of the lifts was a very disturbing sight, on the only tree that was close enough to the lift was a pair of soiled size 44 tightly whiteys . Now these didn't just have a brown skid mark, they looked like the after affects of an all night burrito and frijoles eating contest followed by Coronas and shots of tequila. This was a full fledged Skud missile dump. Now I have to ask myself just how did these get here? Two possibilities come to mind and neither are very pleasant. One was someone had these at home and drove all the way to the ski area carrying them in a paper or plastic bag, tucked it into their pocket or inside their coat, got it out of the bag after loading onto the lift, and with either their bare or gloved hand tossed them just right to land smack dab on top of the visible branch. The other option would be that this happened in the ski lodge restroom, so that person would have to take off their ski boots ,ski pants,pants long johns in order to remove said underwear, place them into toilet paper or paper towel and then put said ski clothes back on. Now you have a large person going commando out on the ski runs carrying a warm smelly surprise in their coat and going through the steps again to get this to land in the tree. I don't thing I want to share the ski lift with this person much less ski on the same slopes as him. What do you think?

  1. Option 3. Someone stole said underwear from a drunken bunkmate, went through the trouble of getting them up there, identified them to everyone as their friend's underwear. Also a disturbing thought.
