Stupidest thing you have ever done while skiing

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.

So yesterday I was leading up to a rail I had probably done upwards of 20 times that day and I live in the Midwest so it was icy. Caught a bad edge, fell befor I even got to the rail. Might I add this is clearly seen by everyone riding the lift

Skied switch down one my mountains main groomers, like the one that everything leads on to while it was pretty empty. Right near the bottom I pretty much ran an entire family of tourists off the run before I even noticed them. They were angry, and didn't really accept my apology.

When I first switched back to skiing after snowboarding for a couple years, I kept trying to stop/slow down by leaning back.

It was like my 5th or 6th time skiing, so I wasn't to good. I was hitting the little "rollers" to the side in this wide open run way off to the side, so I'm hitting them, decide "ohh look at that one, little bit bigger I will hit this a little faster than normal".
So I ski up to it about 12-15mph and about 4 or 5 feet before I realize this "drop" of "2 feet" was more like 12-15 feet. I hit it, scream as I go down (getting attention of course) and land on top of this mini 3 or 4 foot tree.... Knees go into my chest/head, knock goggles off, stuff goes flying, and of course I'm a stupid 10 year old kid so I end up just laying there for about 5 minutes.
I look back on it and laugh, but gosh so embarrassing back then.

Launching blindly over huge hips on groomers. If I landed on someone it would be a disaster. So stupid.

Freezing cold day, and there was a snowgun just sitting on the ground blasting so I stuck my face in front of it. About four sheets of ice covered my goggles, and my face got pretty scratched up. I thought it would be a smart idea to scrape the ice off with my poles and long story short I don't use those goggles anymore.

I've done it before too haha. Done it once on a pow day, double ejected and skis sank like 4 feet under the snow. I was laughing so hard, it was terrifying but so much fun. Prolly 15-20 feet high.

I have some other not-so-hardcore ones. My mountain has a strict "no inverted arials" policy so I sent a massive backy right in front of a ranger (mountain police basically) that was on the lift. It was my last run, but I guess they waited in the park for me for over an hour.

I also only do backflips off small stupid shit. Scared to do them off real jumps haha.
