    this has got to be the funniest and most surreal photo I've seen in the Commons so far. A staged tobogganing accident on top of a mountain involving three girls sprawled on the snow in bathing suits. : )
  • Hanne Dale said:
    Haha, I second BigBean's thoughts there...lovely.
  • ReporterErin said:
    That's awesome. I wish we knew who these women were and how the whole thing came to be.
