Dru Posted March 13, 2003 Posted March 13, 2003 Uncomfortable skiers force name change for Wyo. mountain Mary's Nipple ALTA, Wyo. (AP) - Pressure from uncomfortable skiers and other tourists has prompted the Grand Targhee Ski and Summer Resort to cover the second half of the name of one of its mountains. Mary's Nipple is now just Mary's, and signs with the word "nipple" have been covered with tape. New signs were to arrive in about two weeks. But the covered signs have rankled some local skiers, who feel a bit of their history has been lost. "If the name changed, it wouldn't be the same," said Mark Franklin of Driggs, Idaho, who has skied the mountain for 26 years without feeling offended. "It's always been Mary's Nipple to me, and probably 99.9 per cent of the people around here will agree with me." The name dates back three decades to a story about a waitress named Mary, who was working at Targhee's Trap Bar and streaked through it and the resort one night. The U.S. Forest Service has never acknowledged it officially. Quote

glen Posted March 14, 2003 Posted March 14, 2003 I wonder if the PC-craze will ever hit climbing routes. What would happen to the classic Owen's River Gorge line "Show us your tits"? Popular for many reasons. Quote
