lancegranite Posted November 7, 2004 Posted November 7, 2004 There is a really good snowpack in the southwest right now. Mrs G. and me have been touring twice in the last week, the snow is perfect...a solid two feet of base with four inches of fluff. Climbing is suddenly far away... Quote

lancegranite Posted December 31, 2004 Author Posted December 31, 2004 Mrs G. and I were testing the high performance break in on her new christmas gift, a speedy new Salomon. Speed runs on velvety fresh groomed snow, Mrs. G. in the lead, she decides to STOP! (a boot issue... women, you know what i'm talking about.) Â I see her slam on the breaks. My speed, quite refreshing a moment ago, has become a problem. She is directly in my fall line.... Time to impact: 0.25 seconds Decision time. What I do in the next quarter of a second will decide how hurt WE will be....sit? jump? grab her in a 30 MPH bearhug? fuck! I sit on it, turning myself into a little ball, board in front, edges screaming, a whitewash blinds me... Â The impact sends me flying in a 30 MPH frontflip. Flying thru the air, I remember the time in Canada when a guy's sudden turn resulted in crossed skis and much apologies.... Â She is OK, but a nasty cut on Mrs. G's arm encourages us to seek help. The patrolers looked not a day over 19...I take charge. Cleaning the wound, a giant glob of fat flops out of the cut. I look at the patrolers... their eyes are huge. "pass me the sissors" I said, "No!" they cried, "you need to go to the hospital" Â Later, in our bathroom, She holds the fat with tweezers and I cut it off. A couple butterfly bandages and advil later and she is just fine. The arm is sore, but no signs of infection. I was a real hotdog for a long time, but this was my first accident in 14 years. Mrs G. is fine, I learned that skiing is dangerous and it's good to have the WFR skills.... and the look on the patroller's faces will live with me forever. Quote
thelawgoddess Posted December 31, 2004 Posted December 31, 2004 yikes. at least you're okay. and less fat, too. Quote
