Hot Tubbing at High Altitude
Gotta love the Euros. Regardless of how much they make you shake your head in disbelief you can't help but admire their audacity and how they push the edge of anything.
Take hot tubbing for example. It's a "sport" of sorts and though usually undertaken in the privacy of your back yard or a hotel in say Chamonix for example, that is simply too easy for our Euro friends. There must be a way to make it more...what is the word...le Extreme!?! And while you're at it, why not involve a pile of your closest friends and head to the top of Europe. After all, hot tubbing is best when shared...or so they say.Enter the Jaccuzzi Events and Mont Blanc.

Caption Contest - I'll ship a Backcountry.com Beanie of your choice to the person who can come up with the best caption for the guy in the background - the mountaineer who looks like he's leaving the "party" discouraged. Good luck!

"Hey guys, I forgot my swimsuit at the bottom, don't start marco polo without me!"

John left happy knowing that the climbers would now consider themselves as in a hot tub upon a hill.

Where the crowd saw a mountain top soak, Pierre saw a social disease incubator and quickly moved on.

Some great comments all. Any more? I'm going to announce the winner tomorrow morning so any new captions need to be in before midnight (MST) tonight.
I'm fond of the 2nd comment by Rob Story - "Hey guys...."

And the winner is....
There are actually 2 winners. From a field of judges there was no clear single winner so I'm giving beanies to the top 2 finishers. Yea, I'm a pushover and it's been fun to read the comments.
Winner #1 - "Bah, Sausagefest" from fixiewrek
Winner #2 - "Hey guys, I forgot my swimsuit at the bottom, don't start marco polo without me!" from Rob Story
The winners need to drop me an e-mail - kcard AT backcountry DOT com with their beanie choice (look on backcountry.com for the backcountry.com beanies) and shipping info.
Stay tuned for our next contest and thanks to those that participated.
