Happy New Year, skier. Here’s how he got there according to a story on The Tackled-Box.
This guy got toilet seated on the Blue Sky Basin lift chair. Chair came around with the seat up and dude got toilet seated. Lifty left the housing and the guy fell through catching his pants and Under Armor in the framework which saved him from falling on his head in the river below.
He reportedly hung there for 40 minutes before Vail lift workers could get him down.
