Moronic Ski Day

2007 Reader Submission
Pending Acceptance

The names in this story have been changed to protect the doers stupidity. About two years ago over spring break, a few of my buddies and I were skiing in Montana. There had been over 100 inches of snow that year, so we were skiing stuff that wasn't usually covered by snow. Two of my friends went down the entrance of a run on the top of the mountain. Both had pointed out the the people preceding them that there was a rock in the middle of the entrance, and that we should watch out for it. I went down, and pointed out the same rock to the last person. Now mind you, this same person had in the past never listened to anything someone said, and he had crashed into many different objects. So, he decides to go down, and lo and behold, hits the same rock we had specifically told him to watch out for. Fortunately for him, but unfortunately for the gene pool, someone had witnessed this,as we had skied out of sight of him, and called ski patrol, who preceded to take him to the base. His testes are fine, but he broke his ankle, and lost a fair amount of dignity on that day.

He sure did exhibit stupid behavior if he didn't bother listening to a number of people who went before him. I'm just a bit ambivalent about the quality of this story so I'll defer it to the other moderators.

I concur. Whereas this is a PA, it will definitely wash! He was obviously warned and brazenly disregarded all admonitions to be careful. He's lucky he didn't crack his empty skull!
