JACKSON, Wyo. — An on the (ski) fence mountain town couple announced Friday that, despite the utter deterioration of their toxic four-month relationship, they were going to ride it out for the duration of their six-month lease—currently scheduled to expire at the end of June.
“We’ve only got six more weeks of this shit,” 24-year-old ski bum Molly Reynolds explained to TGR, recounting she and her soon-to-be ex-partner’s decision to tough it out, despite pretty much loathing everything about each other. “Weighing the options, we can either put up with constant fighting, psychological manipulation and general unhappiness—or we can pay full rent somewhere else? The choice is obvious...”

Housing-starved ski bums rejoiced at the announcement, with over a dozen pre-screen rental applications submitted within 20 minutes of the news populating social media.
“I’ve never seen housing demand like this,” the owner/landlord of the property, Bill Bridger, 63, told TGR. “Actually, that’s not true, it was just like this six months ago, and six months before that. The only difference is I’ve jacked up the rent by 30 percent each time, but these twenty-somethings don’t seem to notice—suckers!”
Hunter Williams, the now-estranged boyfriend/uncomfortable living mate of Reynolds, says that the extra savings he'll accrue by staying in the rental will allow him to make more responsible decisions this summer. “I’m really stoked to be saving the cash...I’ll probably buy an elbow in NorCal, then flip it as I tour the festival circuit along the west coast until it's trim season again.”
