Not the reaction I planned... :lol:
I wish I could meet the person who first decided to strap 2 planks to their feet and throw themselves down a mountain

Don't you just love having snow rammed up your nostrils.

The key trick is to roll & make it back on your skis in one smooth(ish) motion & continue skiing whilst brushing off the snow before the kids/wife have had time to get their cameras out!

What wipe out?

A friend of ours has just returned from France with a broken wrist and a closed black eye courtesy of a face plant executed by hitting a large patch of ice, almost making it across, when suddenly her skis stopped dead. She reckons her helmet, which she was wearing for the first time, saved her from more serious injury.

She was knocked out, and friends had to bodily protect her, because other skiers were hitting the ice and were struggling for control.

She was carted off the mountain, but was okay later in the day. Third day of a weeks holiday. Bummer!!

Another reason I am interested in your previous post.
