And a yak at the top of the hill; yak and "skier are connected by," means of a rope going around a pulley at the "top of the hill." To engage the yak, the skier must shake (and swiftly put down) a bucket of pony nuts. This attracts the yak, "which charges downhill and pulls the skier upward by means of the rope."
