Story is from the smoking gun, so i always wonder how true they are BUTT, I looked over the new section here and didn't see this one.
Part of me feels bad for the guy (this could have been a lot worse) and the other part of me cant help but laugh out loud!

be aware, the pictures have the BARE facts.

At least he didn't fall. All humor aside that was a pretty dangerous situation.

At least he was hearing a protection. A helmet. :lol:

I hope that they, at least, gave him a free lift ticket to ski the next day.

Something tells me he'll be getting a little more than a free lift ticket.

The photo is good advertisement for the quality of the pants. Amazing they didn't rip.
It pays to have have quality ski pants even when you're not wearing them.

Lucky for him he wore clean undies.

They probably weren't still clean after that.

And Today.
And teh CBS moring show.
And at this point, pretty much every other media outlet.
It's no longer just a news item - it's progressed to a net meme.
