 Poster: A snowHead
|
...comes to us from the opposite side of the world - the New Zealand ski resort of Turoa on Mount Ruapehu (the live volcano that also houses the ski area of Whakapapa) - and shows...
...a man beating the hell out of a chairlift seat with a large stick!
Here's the news report that goes with the photo (which is by Alan Gibson), from The New Zealand Herald
It's been snowing a lot on Mount Ruapehu over the past few days. In fact, its ski conditions are some of the best in the southern hemisphere right now.
UPDATE EDIT: This news story from snow.co.nz has some nice snowy "wish I was there" pics.

I thought corporal punishment had been outlawed in Russia.

According to "World Corporal Punishment Research" the bottom (sic) has fallen out of the market in terms of selling canes, because no-one is beating British schoolboys or chairlifts any longer.
Does anyone know any countries other than New Zealand where these practices are still permitted?

David Goldsmith, The spanking of disobedient chairlifts is tolerated in Spain and France, I believe, in moderation.
