In good snow years we will ride the foothills just north of town. One Saturday I talk the wife into going for a ride, she really didn't want to but got tired of listening to me. We load up in my old Chevy and head up. We get to a place in the road where there it starts climbing just past a cattle guard. Everyone always gasses it right there so it is icy. She says "lets just unload here". I'm having none of that, I want to get up a little higher so we don't have to ride the ice. Well, we get half way up and the truck starts spinning and we start sliding backwards towards the 20' drop-off into the creek. Finally the truck stops and I get out to plan my next move. By this time the wife is even less happy than she was when we left the house and a group of skinny skiers has gathered 100' or so behind us. She is saying something but all I hear is the Charlie Brown teacher noise. I decide to un-hook the trailer and ease it into the bank so I can get the truck on the downhill side before the whole mess ends up in the creek. I unhook the plug and chains, swing down the wheel and start cranking it up. Next thing I know the trailer is shooting down the hill at mach 10. I can still hear Charlies teacher. I take off after the trailer that is headed for the creek and manage to get one hand on the top of the jack and swing it into the bank. As I do this my feet go out from under me and the world goes black when my head makes contact with the ice. I wake up (didn't even know Id been out) to several skiers standing over me with shocked looks. One tells me to stay still and don't worry, he is a paramedic. I'm thinking "Oh crap, am I bleeding?" After a couple of seconds and a test swipe of the back of my head to check for blood I get up and we move the truck and hook back up. The wife says "Lets just call it a day." Well, after all of this I'm not about to not get a ride in and we un-load and off we go. We get up to a little medow and take a break. I rub my head and notice that I have a lump roughly the size of a pregnant softball. After the break I go to put my helmet on and can't get it past the lump. Back to the truck we go....Poser? Not sure about that but looking back it sure seems funny. The look on the skiers faces was priceless as I was unloading the sleds. 
Boat luanches are great. One of my best days a the lake was after the boat wouldn't start so I sat there all day watching the show.

AHHH MAN I think we all have days like that I just think few will admit it...that charlie brown muffle noise is great...totally put a great picture in my head.
speaking of boat launches. a couple of summers ago we were waiting at the murray river launch by tumbler ridge. this guy and his wife pull up and get ready to dump their riverboat in. the guy undoes the winch and safety chain and hops in the boat ,the wife is in the truck backing down into the river,part way down the ramp which is fairly steep and thinks she is going to fast and spuds the brakes.swish off the trailer goes the boat and down the ramp right into the river good thing for teflon bottoms. the kicker was the guy was steering the boat all the way down..
Man, there sure is alot of bad reps goin on in this thread
OK, whoever gave me the bad rep for this comment. Thx, I am the one leaving GOOD reps fpr everyone who got a bad rep in this thread Sheesh
I'll bite....
Transfer Trail - Glenwood Springs, CO: Story begins way up in the Flattops, as my group comes to a blind corner in the trail with no where to go on either side. No visibility either way due to the thick spruce trees. Just before our leader gets to the corner, 4 guys come rocketing around it and miss Jeff by about an inch. Needless to say, we were pissed. They didn't stop, just kept going like nothing had happend. Shake it off, continue to enjoy the epic powder. 2 hours later, encounter same group. All 4 are stuck. We slowly ride past laughing. (they were not in any danger and were making good progress getting out). End of the day, we're loading up and about to leave. Here comes that same group. The flop the ramp down on a 4 place open trailer, and the lead dipshot loads first. Grabs way too much throttle, and hits the ramp like a jump. Clears the entire deck of the 4 place, and slams into the slush guard (Metal). Awesome.
Next, is a story I'm sure you're all familiar with, but it still makes me laugh every time I see it. You've got your classic 1 inch of hard pack over the pavement. Then you've got the PLP who is "stuck" because the carbides are digging down into the pavement while the track spins useslessly. Next, rather than having his buddy stand on the boards with him to apply more pressure to the track, he dismounts, the PLP's buddies (also PLP's) come over and lift UP on the track, trying to get the sled moving. Doesn't work. Amazing. They struggle for minutes trying to get this crazy snowmobile to move. Finally, after burning through all the snow and ice and belt, it moves. Love it. Laugh every time I see it.

Guess this makes you a poser than. LMFAO
The most memorable one was uuuhhh me. It was bad enough that I got my azz kicked on the way back to the truck. Then I dropped the door on my enclosed trailer and went to loadup but I was at an angle to the trailer. So when I hit the ramp I went right into the side of the trailer and then tipped over off the side of the ramp. And since I was the last one there, everybody got to see it.
