In case you missed it on Tuesday, we've got a free five-night ski getaway lined up for one lucky Ski &
Board subscriber. And unless you happen to be a late-night talk show host, you should be feeling pretty
lucky.
 SKULLDUGGERYThe Skull From Skull and Bones at Auction
The first rule of Yale's most secret society is that you do not talk about Yale's most secret society. (Just
ask Dubya, John Kerry or its legions of members who didn't run for president in 2004.) But somehow, the
skull made its way to auction. If you're thinking of launching your own such society, there's no better way
to start (and we won't tell anyone).
 TUMBLINGSupermodels on Tumblr
Terry Richardson has shot sexy ladies for just about every magazine that's still around—Megan Fox in
GQ is one particularly bookmarkable example—and now he's posting his behind-the-scenes
candids on the Web. You're as likely to see sexy shots of supermodels as bizarre things happening with teddy
bears, but let's focus on the supermodels.
 SOFTWEARIntroducing the Laptop Sweater
Look, we know what you know, and we all know that laptops are more likely to suffer from heat than chill, so
maybe a laptop sweater really isn't completely necessary. But come on: they're sweaters. For laptops. This
is what Bill Cosby would put on his MacBook.
 HYBRIDThe Corkscrew Driver
Finally, someone has done the obvious and combined the powerful shape of the screwdriver with the
libation-liberating qualities of the corkscrew. Plus, you've been looking for a way to drop words like
force and torque into your wine tastings.
 REAL GENIUSVal Kilmer's Blankets
Yes, Iceman has joined the blankie trade. Through his website, he's selling two blankets of his own design
(and made with Pendleton) to benefit charity. We'll say this much: he's better at designing than playing
Batman.
