Thank you for sharing the viddy, hpd. That fall didn't look like anything and you seemed to remain amazingly calm.

Shortened the video for more of a general audience. Cheers

^^^ I got all nervous watching that, like when the music gets suspenseful in a horror show.

The original video went private? I don't have a vimeo membership, but would love to see the footage of Jackson before the fateful trip out of bounds.

On the bright side, the seasons mostly over. I did my ACL last season in late december, so I missed much of an epic season and had this marginal snow year for my comeback season.

Speedy recovery to you!

Go to 5:30 to see the carnage.

HM, just use the password "Josh" to watch that longer compilation. I wanted to limit access a bit since that short clip was linked in a news article. Cheers

Oh man, speedy healing to you!! Amazing how things went from awesome to broken in .5 seconds. I wonder if that crash landing earlier was a factor? Impossible to say of course. You hit something in the snow? Good to think about before I go out and ski shallow powder tomorrow.

Alright. That snapping sound as you fall is ?

Don't think I'll be able to forget that sound...

I did a lot more squealing when I broke my tib. Glad you got out OK. Better than ligament damage (sorry Eric!).

I was mulling that over too, but really that was a pretty low impact tumble, especially since I didn't try to fight it when I landed a little too far back. Seems unlikely, especially as I ripped another 600 vert of rowdy snow coming out of Corbets with no problem. Like you say, I guess I will never know.

HPD-

Wishing you a speedy and complete recovery. Amazing how one's perspective on life can change in a matter of seconds. Thanks for for being the guinea pig and teaching us all a good lesson... that snow sure did look nice though. Smile

Cheers.

Ouch. Reminds me of that sickening feeling of being broken-worse than the pain itself-after my femur break. Luckily I was at a resort.

Glad to see that you got out and are recovering.

I thought you were just trying to draw out a red card.
