That definitely classifies as a bad day! I really wouldn't mind the hanging upside down from the lift by a ski boot..... it's the pantslessness and all the people laughing and taking pictures that would burn me! (or should I say 'frost' me) hehehe...
Although, Glenn.... Mikes Mischeif beat you to the punch... look down the list about 6 or 8 threads.....

I saw that happen once - but with the guy's pants staying on.
The back of the guys skis went up into the slats as he had not tipped his feet up at the top of the hill. The toe got pulled down on the ramp at the top - the back of the ski went up into the slats of the bench seat on the lift - the guy fell forward and was hanging there in mid-air for about 10 seconds as the lift operator stopped the lift and they helped the guy down . . .
I never figured out how the ski stuck though . . . you'd think it would slide right out - but it didn't.
I laughed all the way down the hill . . . funniest thing to watch since we were right behind him on the chairlift.
Young skier - first time skiing - but not his first time on a chairlift that day. Bet he never did that again.

The first time I ever went skiing, a bunch of us went to Boyne Mountain. The first time up the lift I didn't know any better and left my feet(skis) dangling toes down. And when we came to the ramp at the top of the hill they got caught and flipped me off onto the ramp. They shut down the lift, my buddies had a great laugh. It was very embarrassing but there was no nudity. LOL. But there were some more embarrassing things that happened the whole weekend. I guess we should have expected that, what with a bunch of single 20 somethings partying it up over a long weekend.
