Northern Explosure? A chairlift mishap in Vail.

click to enlarge

A half naked skier was left dangling upside down last week, after a bizarre chairlift accident Friday morning at Vail's Blue Sky Basin. The man partially fell through a gap in the chair's seat, his right ski got jammed in the chairlift, and he was upended. This photo was snapped by a fellow skier. They got him down 15 minutes later, safe and sound, except for his dignity.
