FORT, J.,
concurring.
I concur in the majority opinion and would add only that here claimant before going skiing had himself entered in his own log book that he was "off duty.” He had also turned over the keys of the bus to the head of the ski group who had chartered the bus for the day, and he had agreed to look after the bus, including the needs of the charter group in reference to its use by them. Therefore, I conclude that he was not acting in the scope of his employment at the time of his injury, not only because he was clearly unauthorized by his employer to go skiing but also because the foregoing facts do not bring his claim within activities benefiting the employer within the tests outlined in 1 Larson, Workmen’s Compensation Law 5-225, 5-228, 5-234, Acts Outside Regular Duties §§ 27.21 and 27.22 (a) and (b).
