Meet Me At Mary' s Place... “SKI AREA DROPS "NIPPLE" FROM MOUNTAIN NAME (Wyoming) Pressure from uncomfortable skiers and other tourists prompted the Grand Targhee Ski and Summer Resort to blank out the second half of the name of one of its ski mountains. Mary's Nipple is now just Mary's. "Nipple" has been covered with tape until new signs arrive in about two weeks. But the sanitized 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 percent of the people around here will agree with me." The name dates back three decades to a story about a redheaded waitress named Mary, who was working at Targhee's Trap Bar and streaked through it and the resort one night. The bartender compared her bare breast to a peak he had skied earlier that day and then attached the name "Mary's Nipple" to the mountain as a joke. The U.S. Forest Service has never acknowledged it officially.” 3:51:59 PM 3/19/03 “there is a mt in the Daks called. Mt. Nipple (i think)” 4:01:45 PM 3/19/03 “That's Nippletop in the Daks, aptly named if you see it from the Northway on the way up.” 4:04:29 PM 3/19/03 “I smell an Ashcroft.” 4:05:25 PM 3/19/03 “I have two nipples.” 4:06:08 PM 3/19/03 “A really big pastie will cover them both...” 4:06:37 PM 3/19/03 “Based on the foot photo, don't bother posting pix of your nips Vi!” 4:08:38 PM 3/19/03 Good we're not French! “The Grand Tetons might be in jeopardy!” 4:14:49 PM 3/19/03 “This Just In... "Mike Hunt for Sheriff of Aiken County"” 4:27:42 PM 3/19/03 That was good, Aero. “There has been a lot of controversy about Nippetop's name, if you read the ADK 'Guide to the High Peaks'. Luckily, New Yorkers grew up a while ago. Sheesh!” 10:40:28 AM 3/20/03 “party-poopers!” 10:44:42 AM 3/20/03 “Somewhere in there is a coprophilia joke...” 10:45:58 AM 3/20/03 “HA! that one took me WAY too long.” 10:50:08 AM 3/20/03 “Boy, it's a good thing those folks don't live around here...the Titabawassee river would be getting a new name.” 11:01:16 AM 3/20/03 “On Southern Sierra maps as long as I can remember: Nellies Nipple Kern County, CA summit: 351525N 1182328W Elevation: 4640 USGS 7.5' Map: Loraine” 11:14:04 AM 3/20/03 “So I guess Mt. Butthole Surfer and Mt. Labia are in trouble ?!?” 11:39:34 AM 3/20/03 “I think there are TWO different "Mollie's Nipple"s in southern Utah. different locations, nonetheless!” 12:00:22 PM 3/20/03 “Boy that Mollie sure was popular...” 12:06:21 PM 3/20/03 Mollie “Left and right, Lizs...” 12:21:58 PM 3/20/03 “Travel south to Mollie's Forest....” 1:42:45 PM 3/20/03 “I hear there's a cave there too...” 1:43:29 PM 3/20/03 “Yes... the lair of the white worm.” 1:45:33 PM 3/20/03
