watching that was funny! But it makes you wonder why do people find it so hard to get off a chairlift??

Cried laughing! I've sent this to all ski buds. Sort of thing you want to share.
Reminded me of my inexperienced and slightly naive brother.
I went up a chairlift to some easy blues with him on the 2nd day of our holiday. (His instructor had only taken him on the drags at this point)
When I put the bar down - He said 'Oh, bl**dy hell, there's a bar is there? I thought it was a bit dangerous yesterday when I went up, was hoping I wouldn't fall!'

So it's a gluhwein to me for mentioning it and Karen72 for adding the Youtube connection! Prost! Salute! or Down Yer Gregory!! Cheers!

(or as Kevin would say 'uuuh God Almighty!!!)

I wonder where he is - and is he aware of all the laughs he has caused??
Rather a bad day on the slopes than a good day in the office!

This is utterly brilliant!

The perms and high waisted sallos are funny enough, but matey in the sunglasses is like Rowan Atkinson would be skiing!

There is still a chairlift in Sauze like that with the orange plastic seats, from the Sportinia.

The bit where he comes off the drag lift is priceless!!!

We had some friends round last night, the guy is a good skier, his wife avoids it at all costs - and after seeing Brenda, Maureen and Kevin she is vowing NEVER to go on skis!!! Got through a few tissues howling at it once again!!

The documentary is so good, to be fair the Youtube clip does show all the funny stuff that I laugh about every year.

Although I have the link I am waiting until we get back from Niederau to show husband because I know if I show him it, he will probably not want to go! lol
