Ski Bums for 2017

I couldn't resist a post about this recent find for the holidays--although some may say the topic is not entirely "family friendly." 

If you are like me, you still use a paper wall calendar. Instead of animals or nature scenes for 2017, I'm going with ski bums -- literally!

The World Cup Dreams Foundation, a 501 C3 Non-Profit organization, is selling the Under the Suit: Bodies of the Ski Team 2017 calendar that is chock full of nude racers. Why? Proceeds will help support travel, training and competition costs for unfunded US Ski Team athletes.

According to the web site, "Athletes on the [National] Ski Team who are below the A-Team level have to pay for their travel expenses. This can range from between 15,000 - 35,000 dollars per year."

The calendar goes for $60, or a bundle of 3 for $120 or 5 for $200. True ski fans can buy one of 10 limited-edition copies signed by Ted Ligety for $750.
