I remember an earlier version by Chas Addams (the cartoonist who came up with the Addams Family characters) with a guy on skis–apparently from the Jan 14, 1935 issue of The New Yorker?–as here:
R_ Noonan, The first I remember it was in a Bob Hope-Bing Crosby movie in the 40’s I believe with Bob on skis and the result being the same as depicted above. I remember lying on the floor of the theater laughing. -Not close to a teenager yet.
Thanks, Bunny.
Bunnyface, your Chas Addams cartoon cuts off the reaction shot of the other skier trudging uphill, looking back at the one who skied ‘around’ the tree!

This may be a web SITE, but it is a SIGHT gag. If you want, I can CITE sources.
