A 46-year-old man from Albany, New York has been charged of lewd and lascivious conduct after he was seen riding nude in a ski lift at Stratton Mountain Resort.

William N. Barrett III however has pleaded not guilty to all the charges in Vermont District Court saying he had taken off his jacket and shirt because of the nice weather.

According to AP reports, a witness spotted Barrett nude and touching his body parts inappropriately while riding the gondola on December 15 but he reached the bottom of the hill fully clothed.

Police also charged Barrett with marijuana possession after they found a glass pipe and film canister containing marijuana from his pocket.
