I picked up a hitchiking telemarker on berthoud pass this evening.

When I dropped him off, he apparently forgot to shut my ski rack (signaled that i was good to pull off and everything after unloading his shit). Didn't find out until people were flashing me with their hi-beams on 70.

Now I am missing a ski.

Those fucking degenerate tele skiers are always blazed out of their minds, you should never trust those pot smoking hippies.

We we're talking about meeting up to ski Cameron in the near future so we exchanged numbers. My phone was dead until I got home and I just sent him a text explaining the situation.

I'll update this again if he responds.

It makes you want to rip your TV off the wall and throw it into the street so it ends up like Dough's ski? Weird?

I would never expect hitchhiking telemark guy to come through like this. It just goes to show, you can't judge a book by its cover, I guess?

Damn glad to hear this worked out and he made amends. I'd have found this motherfucker and choked him out if he didn't pay up.

This sums it up quite well.

My Ski bin on my car can only close when its locked by key. Since the key is on my car keys, This cannot happen. Im sorry for your loss, but I did have a good laugh at 3:40am.
