I hope he didn't get frostbite on the extremities. That would be most unpleasant.

There's a couple of my greatest fears, chairlifts and unexpected public nudity, combined.

Vail canned the photographer who took the photos.

Hilarious none the less though! Hopefully the guy makes some coin by licensing this photo.

I think the ski resort pressured the photographer's company to fire him because it is bad publicity for Vail.

Feel bad for the photographer that got fired. Can't really see what he did wrong except bring some publicity for the ski resort.

Technically, what he did wrong was freelance professionally in violation of a no-compete clause in his contract.

In reality, ski hills are rather sensitive about when their crappy lifts injure or embarrass customers. Firing the photographer was pathetic.
