One of the unfortunate side effects of skiing at places like Vail and Beaver Creek is people like this:

We arrived at the Eagle/Vail airport just before them and watched as ten of them decamped from two vehciles, one for them and one for their luggage. There were 18 pieces, many the same sickly pink color as the bismuth I had bought for my lower GI issues apres Mexican food in Edwards. You can see the color better here.

Amongst these bags were not a single ski bag. Not one. What the fuck were these people doing here, clogging up our infrastructure with their damnable fur-covered bodies if they weren't even skiing? By the way, I love the look of absolute horror on the face of the young girl in the middle of the frame. She of the waist length fur. She'll probably graduate to full length when she hits 18.
