BRATTLEBORO — Is this another sign of global warming?

An Albany, N.Y., man is accused of taking off his clothes while skiing at Stratton Mountain Resort in December. A witness told police that 46-year-old William N. Barrett III was fully nude and touching himself inappropriately while riding a ski gondola up a mountain.

Barrett pleaded innocent to a felony count of lewd and lascivious conduct and a misdemeanor count of marijuana possession Tuesday in Brattleboro District Court. He faces more than five years in prison or $800 in fines if convicted.

As they were arresting him, police found a black pouch in Barrett's pocket containing a glass pipe, lighter and film canister with marijuana in it, according to court documents. When police asked him what was in the pouch, Barrett allegedly replied, "More trouble."

Winhall Police Officer Gregory Gould was called to the popular Stratton ski resort on Dec. 15, 2006, for a report of a naked man riding the gondola, court documents state. The naked man on the lift was reported at about 12:30 p.m. by Josh Rosenblum, a Stratton employee and part-time Winhall police officer.

The man who said he saw the naked man first, a 25-year-old skier named Ryan Harlow, told police he witnessed a man standing upright in one of the lift cars who was "not wearing a shirt or pants or anything," according to court documents.

1. Well, Ryan Harlow... Bask in your 15 minutes.

"The man who said he saw the naked man first, a 25-year-old skier named Ryan Harlow"

Being the first has always been an achievement worth mentioning.

And drug-induced as well... :(

4. What's the problem?

The cost of skiing is so high why not be all you can be!

5. I always have a problem with the phrase "touching himself inappropriately"

Does that mean he was doing it wrong? Because when I touch myself it seems so very appropriate... :o

6. I double-dog-dare him to stick his pole on a frozen pole.

I triple-dog-dare him!

7. At least he could have yelled, "Lookout below!"

10. "Porky Pigging"

I was told by a friend of mine that the habit of driving around without pants on is called "Porky Pigging"

11. OMG! True story about that....

when I was in high school, I worked part time at a car wash. Boring job. Basically, we would hose and brush the cars down before sending them through the main wash machine.

One hot day, moderately busy, Im just zoning through the "hose, scrub, send through machine", when they guy next to me taps me with his brush and motions for me to look down. You guessed it, lady not wearing pants. She seemed pretty embarassed.

We spent the rest of the day joking about her, and what possible reason she could have for forgetting pants at a full service car wash.

12. So he was on a "lift" not in a "gondola", right?

I mean, gondolas are generally enclosed cars for 6 or more people.

he was naked, but he had a pocket?
