Ponderings while on the ski lift

I forgot that it is socially acceptable to wear pig tails if you're on the slopes.... but it should not be. Pig tails are for young girls, like 11 and under, not 24 year old boarders with a beanie and matching pants. 

How safe is it to drink and ski/ snow board? Should that be illegal? I saw plenty of empty bottles, my favorite the jagger dropped perfectly in the snow.

How many people fall off the ski lift? basically, that would suck to happen.
