I couldn't see out of my goggles and I'm not very good on teles, YET, but I decided I should just pick up a little speed and get through the bad section of trail and regroup. Well, about 200 yards down, this is on my first run mind you, I did something wrong on one of my turns and started a series of cartwheels toward the cliff on the left and the imminent tree death below.

I then must have decided subconsciously that my thumb is strong enough to stop my descent and decided to jam that in the ice as well. So I’m tumbling with a ski or boot ricocheting off my thigh, my thumb stuck in the ice and then I either smack my head (minus helmet... another story) or something smacks my head, I’m guessing the evil ski again.

All-in-all I’m actually really happy this all happened because I was reminded by all the loud hooting an hollering in the lodge about this being the “best conditions ever” and other obvious lies that I really really don’t like snow sports on the east.

So, enjoy your freshies. I hate you.
