How many bras are required before the tree is deemed a "Bra Tree"

As my wife reminds me a few times a year as we're riding by a bra tree, the reality is that very few if any of the bra's you see on a tree are removed on the lift or were even being worn that day, since for most women, even with some moderate endowment, the thought of skiing or riding in anything but a sports bra isn't a comfortable thought, and you rarely see a sports bra on a bra tree. As for the cost factor, as she also points out to me, most of the one's on a bra tree are bit bit worn and tattered, and not just from being out in the elements. Chances are they're just old ones that were going to be discarded or cheap one's that someone picked up at a goodwill store. She ruins my male fanatasies about bra tree contributions every time she tells me that ;) :lol:

What a Debbie Downer. I'm going to continue to believe it's like footage out of Girls Gone Wild.

I have always been of the assumption the bras where the spoils of some young mans conquest the night before that he stole on his way out the door.

That is my theory and I am sticking to it.

Indeed. Cooper's ligaments are quite resilient in some women who never breastfed a child(ren) before

Fixed it for ya DHS ;)

Unfortunately with age, collagen fibers like to STRETCH and don't always snap back like they used too. Hence why i'd never consider skiing bumps without a pair of spandex compression shorts as my 1st base layer anymore :eek: :eek: :eek:

I'm buying into this one! Makes the most sense.

This thread is great and hilarious. My wife was complaining about the bra tree at Camelback the other day. Not that it was there, but the fact that most of the bras were old and worn. She suggested that they clean it over the summer and start over.

I am sure she considers it mission accomplished!

Agreed, but I bet each solid mogul trail skied without a bra takes off about a year of perkiness. I'm sure there is an algorithm for it out there. If not, AZ should apply for research grants.

While researching algorithms please note the number of bras that must miss on there first attempt to catch a branch.

A good bra tree always has a nice spread, but most seem to only occupy a branch or few. I do admire the skill it takes to properly toss women's undergarments into a waiting tree while on a windy moving lift. I always imagine some James Bond type situation were the swashbuckler is able to remove the bra and sling it into the waiting branch in one swift effortless motion. :)

That was always my understanding as well.

In reality I think it's mostly young men who raid their sister's laundry before hitting the slopes... :lol:

Nah, I've told her that I will from time to time keep "harassing" her about it until I see her make an actual contribution to it. And by actual she knows that I'm talking about the full take off and toss while riding the lift fanatsy effect! Heck, every now and then I bring a string or 2 of mardi gras beads with me and ask if she wants to practice her toss as we're approaching a bra tree on a lift :)
