Waterville Valley is in NH, and that sled is full of Lawson's, made in VT and some of the best beer in the Northeast.

An entire state making laws based on imaginary sky daddy. Fucking crazy shit.

Isn't that because Utah has weird laws about how many drinks you're allowed to order? I seem to remember hearing that bar patrons are only allowed to get one drink at a time, so bars just started getting bigger mugs.

They actually served real beer on the mountain the last time I was there.

Also, above 6000 feet or so the effects of alcohol are almost 2x, and utah has many peaks in the 8000-10,000 range, which is why it's important to always drink on the lift.

Counterpoint: a lot of people on ski slopes make enough money to legitimately not even concern themselves with prices

I came here to say there was probably a context clue or three, namely the price.

I don't know this fella, but he is either so out of touch with how much things cost that he doesn't pay even the slightest attention, or (gasp) he is making up a story for the Internet.

Looks to be about 90 beers and they're all tall boys. Don't know where you're from, but at the cheapest -we're talking dog piss beer or malt liquor- around here, that'd be at least $150. I imagine the markup at a ski lodge would make it at least double that. Your point still stands. OP gotta be full of shit.

I mean, going skiing costs an arm and a leg to begin with. $10 for a large beer at the mountain doesn't sound outrageous to me.

1. I don't know where you are that a sled full of beers looks like $50. I don't think I could even get that many Coors banquets for $50.
2. Beers at a brewery or stadium can easily be $10-20 each. I wouldn't be surprised to find similar prices at a ski lodge.

“It's one banana, Michael, how much could it cost? 10 dollars?”

I mean you’re probably right but at least for where I live, your numbers are WAY off. Looks like this is four 24 packs, which where I live goes for around $60 on the cheap end. So that’s $240 at a minimum. Assuming they do a bulk discount, maybe an even $200 if it’s cheap beer. On the other extreme, basically any restaurant here charges $9-10 for standard domestic beer, and obviously more for imported or premium. So that’s looking at close to $1,000 for all that. A bundle discount might bring it down to $900 or $850 or something. And then I guess you could go even further and talk about higher end beers which are oftentimes $20 here, or more probably too. So double the previous numbers.

All that’s to say, even on the low end of $200, that’s still nuts for 5 beers. That would be $40 per beer, which even high end at a specialty restaurant I wouldn’t expect to see that high. Hell, even at a stadium, I think I’ve only seen as high as $25-30 for a single high end beer. I just checked online actually and I could get a 5L keg of Heineken at my local liquor store for $42. And for high end stuff, the most expensive individual beer I could get right now is $34, and that’s for 750ml which is larger than what’s shown in the picture.

My take was someone using the photo out of context to make a joke. A sled seems like the easiest way to transport unopened beer a relatively short distance at a ski resort or whatever - maybe it's getting delivered to a wedding reception or function on site.
