| I saw a guy with head metal skis, loading a chair lift. No wait. At some point he got one ski stuck behind the chair and the chair snapped the ski in two places. The chair lift operator never stopped the lift. He continued to ride up the mountain with one ski on. The other ski boot only had a 4 inch section of the ski left dangling by the run away strap. Everyone in the lift line thought that was funny. Yes that was many years ago before ski brakes |
