Colorado vs. Utah Rivalry: What is a Shot Ski?

In case you’re not familiar, a shot ski is literally a ski, modified to hold shot glasses. Once the glasses are filled with alcohol, four participants tilt the ski to drink the booze together.

Breckenridge first introduced the longest shot ski challenge in 2013, setting the record with 192 participants and 60 skis.
