A Drunk History of Skiing in Vermont

Watch as he slurs himself through the advent of the rope tow.

Watch as he slurs himself through the advent of the rope tow. First it was surf by way of Eddie Aikau; now we have ski by way of Wallace “Bunny” Bertram.

Per YouTube: “Skiing history buffs credit Sun Valley with installing the first chairlift in the United States, but did you know that lift-served skiing got its true start in Vermont? The first ski lift in the US was a rope tow built by Wallace ‘Bunny’ Bertram, and it changed Vermont skiing forever.”

This might not be a Comedy Central production, but drunk history is drunk history.
