Ski resort finds weird stuff after the snow melts

More than 200 employees removed about 800 pounds of trash from this Colorado mountain — and boy, did they find some weird stuff.

BRECKENRIDGE, Colo. — A whole pineapple, a jug of barbeque sauce and bones were a few of the items discovered under the snow at a Colorado mountain ski resort.

Breckenridge Ski Resort shared video of some of the discoveries made by its crew of 200 employees who cleaned up the mountain after the snow melted.

The resort's employees found the usual items, including dozens of ski poles, nine skis, headphone earbuds, mittens, and a rental snowboard.

There was also a whole pineapple, a jug of barbeque sauce, (animal?) bones, a California ID card, an Invisalign teeth aligner, lots of Mardi Gras-style beads and "too many" vapes.

"Clean up on aisle 3!" Breckenridge Ski Resort posted on social media. "Or, rather, on Peaks 7, 8, and 9."

"In preparation for our summer opening this Friday, over 200 employees came together to clean up everything left behind from the winter season. Check out our finds, and remember to pack out what you bring to the mountain. Thanks for helping us keep it clean and pristine!"
