• New ski move spotted at Vail: "The Pants-less Hangman"

  Leave it to those merry pranksters at the Smoking Gun to spot this moment of utter embarrassment and hilarity at Vail Mountain resort last Friday. It turns out a skier attempted to ride the high-speed lift at Vail's Blue Sky Basin, but when the seat didn't fold down all the way he somehow slipped through the crack and was left dangling upside down for 15 minutes, his ski lodged in the chair. Oh, and for some reason his pants fell down. Awkward! Poor fellow. Hopefully he can at least take comf

• Pantsless Vail skier gets viral fifteen minutes of fame

  As reported with merciless pix on TheSmokingGun and with keen analysis by our own intrepid Joel Warner ("New Ski Move Spotted at Vail"), a 48-year-old skier at Vail got depantsed on the chair lift yesterday, dangling upside down for fifteen minutes while rescuers tried to get him down and fellow skiers snapped photos with abandon. Short of death or severe head injury, this is about the worst kind of skiing accident we offer visitors to our fair state. One minute you're on top of the world, t

• Blizzard blasts the Taste of Vail...but it's all good

  Lori Midson Taste of Vail mountaintop picnic What restaurant in its right mind would serve a dessert called "tropical panna cotta" at a mountaintop picnic, high above the town of Vail, in a raging blizzard? Seriously. What kind of  dumbass would play such a cruel joke on all those poor tourists from Texas who insisted on wearing jeans and Stetsons tipped over their skull caps on a gondola ride headed straight for a whiteout? There was absolutely nothing remotely tro

• Today's featured event: Spring has sprung at Spring Back to Vail

  Every ski area bids the season adieu with a big, sloppy snowball of slushy hoopla. But Vail can confidently declare its ginormous Spring Back to Vail to be one of the biggest spring bashes in Colorado's high country, not to mention the entire nation. It's so chock-full of stuff to do before and after hitting the slopes that last-time skiers won't even dream of being bored. Events, which kicked off yesterday evening and continue through Sunday, include a whirlwind of après and post-après part

  "Just when I thought you couldn't possibly be any dumber, you go and do something like this... and totally redeem yourself!" ​The Snowboard Bandits, who we wrote about last year, terrorized Front Range banks in 2007 and 2008. They were clever enough to disguise themselves in full-body snowboarder gear, but made a slip-up or two once the heists were over -- like, for example, trying to launder the money by actually washing it at a laundromat. These antics, however, are nothing compared to
