A Licky Boom Boom Down
You spend most of your ski vacation trying to finally conquer the XXX Double-Plus-Ungood Slope. You fail spectacularly, never managing to make it down still standing. But spending so much time on the remotest part of the mountain is entertaining - you're almost eaten by soccer players, and you encounter a strange fellow who babbles gibberish at you. It sounds something like "tectivemontheysaymedaddymesnow bestabbinsomeonedowndalane" but you can't be sure.
When you stop by the souvenir shop at the end of your trip, you see a T-shirt that says "I survived the XXX Double-Plus-Ungood Slope." You figure that's true enough... broken limbs, bruises, scrapes, and barbed-wire fences aside, you did survive. And when torn up into strips, the shirt makes great bandages. Every time you see these scars, you'll remember what a terrific vacation this was.

References
- The strange fellow babbling gibberish is a portrayal of one-hit-wonder Snow, and the title is a line from his one hit, Informer.
- "Double-Plus-Ungood" is an example of newspeak, straight out of George Orwell's 1984.
- The cannibalistic soccer players are probably a reference to the movie Alive.
