probably a repost...

either way mine would probably be hitting a corrugated pipe with new undulled skis (first rail on my new skis), that hurt like hell.

- tried snowboarding with ski boots
- while slowing down to turn into the gate of a park i caught my edges and totally face planted in the middle of the run - woulda looked so stupid from any angle, cutting my face up and almost breaking my gogs. luckily only one person (my friend) saw.
- i've tip dipped while getting on lift so much, without thinking about it. painful and humiliating.
- I was doing a blunt slide on downish box and caught my front tips and just flew off the box and penguin slid about five feet. my skis hit the back of my head, which I hate a TON

and, whenever I was a gaper back in the day. i'd say that qualifies

I think that's the stupidest thing one could ever think of doing on skis...
I really don't know why I did this but there was this wooden rainbow rail and I literally put my self in 90 position but c'one ! Skis have sharp edge and on a rainbow rail the right edge obviously scratched into the wood.. so I broke my finger but no big deal ^^

On the last day of the ski season, it's tradition to have the last run of the day be a naked run right in front of the lodge. The last few days of April were particularly nasty this year, and I'm pretty sure that the temperature was down to 10 degrees without windchill. Instead of using common sense, I was determined to continue on with the naked run, but ended up just going down without a shirt on instead. The run was completely made of ice, and admittedly my edges were not very sharp. I made it down alive, but watched a guy wipe out right in front of me, who ended up with a huge ice scrape all the way down his back. Got down to the lodge and couldn't feel anything from the waist up.

Got pushed down the loading slope for a chair by my good friend. The chair then hit me at about my shoulder blades so I thought it would be a good idea to try and cling on and climb up, until my friends realised we were gaining height to quickly and there were rocks fast approaching and shoved my off into the snow. Most embarrassing moment on a hill ever, never felt like such a rank amateur

The stupidest thing i would have done while skiing i think would have to be hitting 30 or so foot jump thinking it was 50 foot. thank god for the ridiculously long landing or else i could definately come out with worse than a blood nose, black eye and shinbang. Probably one of the scariest moments of my life coming over the knuckle still gaining height and watching the landing get further and further away.
In hindsight i probably should have scoped the jump.

I went skiing on a side trail with like 6" of snow and a ton of hidden snow snakes;I caught one of my skis on a snow snake and one ski went one way and the other ski went the other way and got stuck. Painful!

First off a word of advice. Pole straps can be fatal, for all of you who have been hit in the stomach, imagine being hit in the chin. My former coach shattered his jaw from his because he couldn't ditch his poles after overshooting a front flip.

Second, That awful feeling when your learning to carve switch and you catch your edge and catapult to the ground. Horribly painful and seems to happen at least once a year for one reason or another.

I've got too many stories to name, so here's 1:

I picked up these used skis and was trying them out. They had old Marker bindings, and the skis kept pre-releasing over nothing. Din was cranked, they were just crappy old Markers...It was early season, and there was a ditch we'd ollie to get to the lift quicker. I was clipping at a pretty good speed. Went to pop over the ditch, skipped off the top of the bump on the other side of the ditch to a double tomahawk ejection where head planted in the snow. I felt my entire neck crack like it was getting a chiropractic adjustment, and then the momentum pitched me forward out of it. Had my neck locked up, any more or been more load bearing i would have broken my neck for sure.

Okay i have two

First day on snow last year. Pre season set up, just a few rails and boxes and shit. so my friends and I are having a good day on this flat box. I decided to try to be steezy and do a 50-50 nollie 180 out. I proceed to catch my tips in the gound and fall forward onto my face. Well anyway, BROKEN FUCKING WRIST ON THE FIRST DAY OF THE YEAR. Sucked.

so this second one wasn't really my fault but it still was embarrassing. So i was skiing down this run and it gets to a point where its like kind of a cliff/rock garden and you have to go along this narrow ass traverse above the rocks to a point to ski down. so the kid in front of me stops like partway through and i have too much speed and i cant stop I kind of try to stop and run into him and end up falling of down this 10 foot cliff, doing like a lincoln, landing on my side, and continue to tomahawk over another cliff and through the rock and into the trees below. stopped by a tree well. Seriously terrify falling completely uncontrollably upside down knowing there are more cliffs and plenty of big rocks that could fuck you up below you.

after a bunch of shots and some other mind altering supplements, skied into the parking lot at the resort (not covered in snow) made it about 50 yards across the gravel then straight to my face in the mud/dirt in front of a car skis facing out, so i basically turtled myself in the parking lot. couldnt get up. just layed there while the car honked at me for a few minutes.

new years eve count down 3,2,1 happy new year!! popped bottles of champaign started spraying everywhere all over everyone, realized i was spraying it all over families w little kids. proceeded to be escorted from the party so i ran off to order pizza at the bistro then asked for it to be delivered, guy looked at me like i was waisted, then i told him he would be delivering me and my crew to our condo with our food. he said cool.

Mine was today.

I was going way too fast down a trail under the lift, and I forgot my ski had began to delaminate slightly early in the day... Long story short, I was jumping over chunder bumps near the bottom at the base of the lift, the delamed tip caught the ground, my base seperated from the core of my ski, and I tomahawked into a slow sign in front of an entire lift line.

Killington mountain today. Champion.
