Mine was last year when me and my friend were skiing. i was cruising down this crazy line right under the chair cus it had snowed about two feet the night before, great freshies. Thats when i saw it, the perfect set up, it was kinda a lip from and snowed over tree straight into another tree to tap you hit what ever. well i went for it, hit it with my tails and that when  i figured out it was a much bigger tree then i thought and it released my skis leaving me falling 8-10 feet with no skis. it was fun times tho.

now tell me yours. top 3 best stories = +k.

So TODAY, second run at opening day at Park City, they had a couple little butter boxes set up, and so I just was messin around, did a little 270 on and my skis STUCK to the box, like I donno if it was my edges catching or what, but this has never happened like this to me before. So then I fly off the box sideways and land directly on my shoulder on the rock hard landing, and so it took me a second to get up which was weird. I got on the lift for another run and my shoulder was killin me, (and I re-broke a thumb) so I tried to ski and I like couldn't even move it and it just killed. So I went to the little clinic thing and they wanted to x-ray me and all the rest. Turns out I have a partially torn rotator cuff, and bone bruising inside my shoulder, and a re-broken thumb. ALL FROM SCREWIN AROUND ON A BUTTER BOX. I still can't believe that I'm so messed up from such a STUPID fall. I'm still super pissed about this right now, and my shoulder kills as I type this. Moral of the story, skip the stupid 5 foot long 3 foot wide butter boxes cause they are out to getcha.

Had to reply to this since something similar happened to me last year.

Whistler park, first feature a little teeny tiny butter box. Butter on to it, catch an edge at an awkward angle so when I fell it was the corner of the box to the shoulder / hip. Normally it would've been something you just stand up from and carry on down, but the way I fell really messed up my left arm and leg so I ended up carefully skiing out and hobbling around the cabin for a day to recover.

Butter boxes are trouble. They're scheming to get you.

I did the same thing last season.  Hurt like hell, but I was OK.
