Glad your all right Nick. Looks like that tree had some kind of weird magnetic pull.
Is that a loading carpet buried under the snow right before the tree?

Nick- I give you extra points for posting this! I think a lot of other users of this site would never post themselves in less than perfect form. Hope you are fine and "look ahead" as I used to tell my performance driving students .
Like someone else said if you were looking where your camera was pointing you would never see anything but the tips of your skis. Point that camera up a little. Hope you are okay.
Glad you're ok dude.
Your left ski definitely took a dive just before impact. That probably contributed to loss of control and hitting the tree, but it might have actually helped you a bit. When you catch a ski like that, it tends to throw you over the handle bars in the direction of the ski that doesn't dive. That's probably why you had just a glancing blow on the right side of the tree instead of a direct hit.
Just think, a year ago you wouldn't have been wearing a helmet, had no place to mount a camera, and you might have got your bell rung and wouldn't have a sweet vid of the crash.
You've come a long way. :beer: :lol:
