Calling all NS internet sleuths,

I'm trying to track down an old ad from Black Diamond or G3 (or maybe even it was from Patagonia?) where a skier had a lunch tray full of saltines, ketchup packets, and free water.

If anyone has a lead on it or something similar, let me know.

Feel free to recreate this image for extra bonus points.

Thanks!

read this this morning and it's been driving me nuts all day, i know the ad but can't remember who made it or anything

easy to recreate though, just go to any cafeteria pretty much and bring some ski gear if need be

I know, right? I've been on Google for like a solid hour and can't find it at all.

If I can't dig up anything, I'll head to the local hill and do it myself haha

Am I the only one who used to strategically sit next to the trash cans in the day lodge?

do you have a rough time frame of when this ad was out? Might help for narrowing down the search

I wanna say 2007-2010, somewhere around there. It's probably why I'm not able to find anything.

I purposefully looked this up to take a screen shot of some of the lodge scenes but it's too grainy.

He used to ski for Atomic back in the day, any update on what he's doing now?

I ate a bunch of chicken fingers and fries off a tray left at a table once and the girl I was supposedly on a "double-date" with legit did not talk to me for the rest of the trip or ride home hahahahaha
