At a dry slope big air comp a few years back I made it to the final 5 and on my final run came out of a rail switch to ride in to the kicker - since they were so close together - with what I intended to be a cab 7 on the kicker. I tripped and one ski completely missed the kicker which resulted in some sort of switch-lincoln-loop type manoeuvre in to the crowd to the left of the jump. Every time I drop in switch there now I stay well to the right

Probably nutting myself on a wall ride after skipping the waiting line at the top of the park. I spent the next 3 minutes in pain trying to get down as all of those kids where slowly growing impatient.

Second would be the the time I forgot to set my din at the start of the year. Went do do a nose butter while waiting for the chair, double ejected to my face and had to roll out of the way of the chair. I didn't realize my din was the problem until I got to the top, that was a fun run for sure.

i was getting off the lift one day and my ski poles where stuck in the back of the chair. i ended up hanging in the air for a moment with ski poles holding me up. basically nutted myself. the lifty didnt help me, he just came out and took a photo with his phone, then turned the lift back on so i could get off.

Ski lessons when i was 6: last in the group to get back for the closing ceremony because its the last day of the season for lessons. I am skiing on one ski, and i fall over then out of nowhere my instructor who wasn't looking ahead ran me over. The ski patrol thought i might have a neck injury, so they put me in the ambulance to harborview. After 10 mins there they told me i was fine.

One day last season I was wearing my new boots for the first time. Went out for a while came back in, and holy shit were they slippery. I could hardly fucking walk. So I get the hang of it for a little and then wham. I feel straight on my back, in front of everyone. Pretty embarassing so I just decided to get the fuck out of there

so here's mine.

so i went for a 5 and i was coming in kinda quick but decided to do the spin anyway. I overshot the jump completely and ended up landing super heavy at 630. I banged so hard that i sat down and took my fks heel piece straight up the ass. Next thing i knew i had shit my pants pretty bad and i had to ski commando the rest of the day.

While hitting a relatively small jump switch I initiated a carve up the face. I caught my tip in the slush and proceeded to double eject (idk how the fuck that happened) directly into the face of the jump. I hit my head pretty badly so i ended up grabbing my skis and just taking a nice nap under the spring sun next to the jump...it was kinda pleasant.

took 25mgs of aderol on sunday. went skiing monday. drank two redbulls. Everytime i messed up on anything all day a screamed literally as loud as i could. skiied from 8 to 545pm ot reccommended

saw tanner was going to drop in behind me so i went for my first nine quit at seven, did splits to face. yard sale and thall had to wait.

asked twall when he was going to start training for xgames on the chairlift in the park.

asked andy parry if he wanted to spin a spliff and he said he wasnt talented enough to smoke and ski which was pretty embarrassing since i cant even 450 out.

lost in in a game of Skate to a girl didnt even give her a letter.

got the worst concussion of my entire life on gaper day wearing skinny jeans a 5 xl tall tee and a whale tale hat trying to sev off the knuckle when it was rainy and slushy. and i wasnt even drunk.

a few years ago i switched from snowboarding to skiing, so my first run ever on skis I went down a fairly steep groomer run thinking i would be able to do it easy because i could do it easy on a snowboard. Little did i know that i had no clue how to control skis yet and i was flying out of control down the mountain. Then right past ski patrol lol. I ate shit after i passed him to stop because he was yelling at me. He brought me one of my skis and then gave me a 5 minute lecture on how i need to take a lesson or take it slow to start because I might kill someone. I apologized and then put on my ski, proceeded to ski down the hill 10 more feet and eat shit again. This was all right under the lift. haha

Had a sketchy little rail set up with my buddy. Went to slide it, but the drop in was a steep and icy snow pile behind my school. I end up back seat and before I can correct end up going off the lip of the feature and drive both my tips into the box. I fly into the air, land with my chest directly onto the box, roll over, get a tip caught in the snow, fly 5 feet off the end of the box, get tail caught. Somewhere along the way I twist the fuck out of my knee and get a synovial effusion, causing me to miss out on 4 days at Bretton Woods with my friends. At least it wasn't an ACL tear.

After that healed up I was hitting small jumps and decided to hit the jump line. First two jumps go all fine, knee feels great (skiing with a brace), then the third one I put one turn and kill my speed, end up coming up 3 feet short on a 25ish foot jump, double eject, scorpion the landing, almost get hit by a boarder behind me, double case of skier's thumb. Day ender. Fuck my life.

I have a few...
I was skiing with my brother, my friend and my friends little brother. We were getting on the chair and my friend and his little bro skied into each other, somehow ended up little brother behind with skis in betweenbig brothers legs. Got about 20 ft off the take off platform and my friend fell but managed to grab onto the side of the chair. they stopped the lift. got 3 ski patrolers and got a latter. They got his skies off, then he proceeded to fall on them knocking the patroler off the latter. Funniest moment! this took and 10 minutes on one of the best pow days of the year!

Now a personal one.
I was ripping as fast as I could at are favorite roller. I hit it going probably 60 km/h. went for a huge nollie and both tips caught. double ejected and flew about 20ft. 10 ft in the air to land flat on my face and slid to the start of the lift line. Then had to climb to the top of the roller and retrieve my skis. I called it a day at that.

This is a great thread!!

Three years ago I was night skiing at my local hill where we had a pretty decent jump line happening. Three jumps: 35', 40' and 45'. I had been doing some spins over the first one that evening and thought I'd take my tricks to to the next jump that was a little bigger. I came in fast to the second jump, wanting to do a 3, but due to extremely variable snow conditions on the North Shore mountains I lost a bit of speed as a I hit the lip. I completed the spin but cased, smashing my ass on the heel piece of my left binding. I slid down the landing in considerable pain holding my ass in attempt to try and minimize the pain. My buddy skied down to where I was lying in the snow and helped me up. As I was standing up I said, "Bro, there's something dripping down my leg. I think my ass hole is bleeding."

Like any good friend, he laughed at me, shouting out to other random skiers, "This dude just popped his butt cherry!"

It would have been funny, but I was in a lot of pain. As I skied down to the lift line (still holding my ass) to go up to the cafeteria and see what the hell was wrong with me, I noticed that this blood coming from my ass was now dripping into my ski boot. Slightly grossed out at my self, I got on to the lift and made my way in agony to the cafeteria wash room.

Once in the wash room I dropped my drawers to check out what the hell I had done to my self. As it turned out, I had not tore my ass hole open and was not bleeding, but I had completely shit my pants.

After a smelly car ride home and a miserably painful sleep, I went to the doctor the next day. I told him my story. He laughed at me. He also told me how there is a nerve in your lower back, and if that nerve is pinched it releases all the muscles that control your bowel movements. So when I cased that jump, my bowels released and I uncontrollably shit my self for an hour. The end.

TLDR: Cased a jump, thought my ass hole was bleeding but I was actually was just shitting my self uncontrollably.

I was in the middle of a ski lesson with three kids. All under 7. We were all getting on the lift just fine. An easy detachable quad. I started to make sure all of them were on the lift okay. All of the kids were. The lift went around and reattatched. I went to sit down and sat down too early. I almost got knocked over by the lift but somehow got up pulled it together. I sat down and began talking with them and leaned forward to wipe some shit off of my skis and fell headfirst right off of the chairlift. Fell about 15 feet. SO embarassing. Everyone was laughing. Almost got fired

when i was 12, some 18 year old snowboarders chirped me telling me i wouldnt drop this small chute i was at the top of. being the cocky little fucker i was, i dropped it and had both middle fingers ready as i was catching up to them. while i was looking sideways at them trying to get their attention, i hit a random side mogul which led to a few more, lost control, got kicked sideways and only my face hit a tree. I broke my nose and B lined it to ski patrol, fuckin blood everywhere and shit. Now i snore profusely.

When I first started skiing I decided that I was going to do a rope jump and go over a gap with a bush. I did not get an enough pop to clear the rope and clipped my tips on the rope, sailing about 10 feet to the very edge of gap and landing in the bushes upside down. I ended up  dragging about 50 yards of fencing that was tangled in the bush and my skis. It took me about 10 minutes to untangle the rope from my skis and set up the fence.

( I stupidly did this under a lift) meanwhile  people on the chiar screamed that, "the rope is there for a reason!!!."


my friends laughed hysterically and this incident was the topic of conversation for the day.

On closing day one year I was banging this chick in the VIP locker room (later, like 8pm). We got busted by security, panicked, tried to run or hide or something, he walked in, we were both standing butt naked in the corner of the locker room. I knew the security guy. He told us to leave. We stayed. He came back 30 minutes later. We're still naked. He told us to look out the window. Out the window across the way are the exectuive offices where the VP of marketing is sitting at his desk. Apparently he is the reason security showed up. Hopefully makes for some good marketing.

I was standing in the lift line and I was about to sit on the chair, but the snowboarder behind who thought it was a good idea to grab onto the chair as it swung around actually made the bar go down before I could sit on it, so I had no where to sit so the chair took me out and I couldn't get up because my jacket and tall tee were caught somehow and the lift us had to help me up, and pull my over sized outerwear from the chair, as well as Russ henshaw was 2 rows behind and definitely saw. I was embarrassed.

Had a ski instructor job at the local little family friendly hill a year ago, was out with one my classes one day, everybody's doing fine (which means stopping to pick someone up who fell every 4 turns, generally taking 15mins to get down a run) Anyway were doing follow the leader, turns n shit, then all of a sudden this 6yr old in my class rips right past me, screaming about he cant stop and all that. So I book it after him, got the bright idea to turn switch in front of him to catch him. As I get ahead and try to turn around, catch an edge, fall right in front of the kid, he hits my skies, does a front flip and lands face first. Thankfully he somehow wasn't seriously injured or even cut up. Fucking cried for a bit then skied the rest of the class, tough motherfucker.

Under-rotate a backflip to double eject at a rail jam. Shamefully hike up to knuckle to get my skis. Richie Paradise of all people is dropping next, throws a cork 7, clips me mid air, lands on my skis and crashes. Sucked.

Getting on the bus, drop skis, get my boots somehow latched onto the bus, bus driver has to lower the bus DOWN TO THE GROUND (didn't know that was a control on UTA buses) and tried to help me on. Accidently pulls me over into some women's hot chocolate. I'm stuck to a bus, lying on the floor, my face is burning, and the bus starts moving....

Was young, around 7 or 8, had to take a shit so I went in the woods. Would've gone great but I got stuck while I was shitting and my dad had to dig me out while trying to avoid touching the massive log I had just released into the surrounding snow. Ended better than expected, got hot chocolate.

at Alta in my work jacket next to the sugarloaf chair where everyone could see, I was going to jump through a patch of tree with a small drop on the downhill side. instead i got my skis caught in the trees and I dangled upside down until someone skied down and helped me.

then there was the time i had to go to the clinic because I thought i had broken my jaw. then I went back two days later because of a blown knee. both times in my work jacket.

I almost forgot the time I tried my friends tele gear. I make fun of my tele skiing friends all the time. So my friend said if you think it's so easy why don't you try it. I replied damn straight, this will be a walk in the park. I'm going to kill it. First run I'll just ski the double black.
Nope
I tomahawked down that entire run and gave up tele skiing for life.
