About 11 inches of snow fell on top of a preceding day’s total of 17 inches. This is the type of mathematic equation that I enjoy figuring out. Carry the one and that means that there was about 28 new inches of snow today, nearly the length of my third leg. Three backcountry.com employees left work for lunch, only to return 3 hours later with massive smiles on there faces.
Being that most people would shout about how “sick” & “stoked” they were to ski this run, off of that lift, and through these glades, I am going to attempt to put it into perspective a little differently. In all of my years of skiing, I have never been a part of what happened to me today. Thus, to put the ski day into perspective, I am going to explain this phenomenon that occurred. Due to the time circumstances and pure joy of skiing continuous laps, in order to salvage time, one of the people that I was skiing with today ultimately made the decision to urinate off of the Peak 5 Chair. Yes, this is true, it was that great of a day.
We will keep his identity a mystery because we don’t want this guy to be uncovered to the ruthless Canyons Ski Patrol. Let’s Just say that his name is “Ken Doll” (like Barbie’s Boyfriend). I didn’t know what I was getting into when “Ken Doll” asked me to hold his ski poles for a second. When I asked, “Hey, ‘Ken Doll’ what are you doing?” The next thing I knew “Ken Doll” was peeing off the side of the chair.
If anyone has ever been up the Peak 5 lift, you know that there is a ski run directly below the lift the entire ride up. Imminently, we approached some oncoming skiers. “Ken Doll” pinched it off (at least half of us know how hard this is to do), to avoid any golden showers to the skiers below. Momentarily later, “Ken Doll” had officially relieved himself on a ski lift.
Stunned, myself and the other on the chair were. This father of four had just created yellow snow from approximately 10-15′ above. What the hell does this have to do with a ‘sick’ powder day? That’s just it, this was a ‘sick’ action. “Ken Doll” was proving that time management is essential. Most people say that “you have no friends on a powder day.” “Ken Doll” was essentially proving another creed for such occasions, there is no time to pull over and pee on a powder. Write that down. Only true die-hard skiers would pee off of a lift to save their time on the slopes for skiing. Thank you “Ken Doll” for teaching the world of skiing another way to preserve time on the slopes and adding a new creed to the Powder Day Commandments.
This may or may not be “Ken Doll” peeing off of the lift: 
Hats off to “ken doll”
You should try pissing off a t-bar.
Leaves a tell tale yellow trail in the snow (gotta open your legs though).
Tricky bit is not leaving any sprinkly dribbles at the end….
Respect !
a true die hard skier would just pee his pants!!!!
