thank you all for positive vibes and well wishes. Sitting in the snow holding my unconscious daughter while waiting for Ski Patrol was a agonizing experience, i've never felt so helpless in my life. it truly was a parent's worst nightmare.

As a parent that statement literally sent a chill through my body...

I hope your daughter feels better and that she isn't afraid to strap on the planks and enjoy the mountains.

It brings home how precious every day with your loved ones really is. Hope she is good as new real soon.

This is how I see things ever since our son survived a life threatening situation when he was little. Completely changed the way I look at the world.
Thank God your daughter is ok- I pray she has a speedy recovery, and you & her mother the strength to see her through.

Thankfully her Giro helmet did its job.

Very sorry to read this news. My best wishes go out for her full and speedy recovery. Before she tells you, thank you for requiring her to where a helmet and probably saving her life. Well done!

met with neurosurgeon @ Yale today for follow up. he ended the conversation with "thank goodness she had a helmet otherwise we would not be here today talking about her recovery."

Hope she's recovering well, Gary.

So very damn scary from any perspective. Be still your hearts: prayers for you and your daughter and her mother and your family as you move forward in real time with this.

Giro is a great product line, there is some versatility there, but.. just like boots... one size does not fit all.

In this thread all we want is your daughter back from the brink.

Keep your head up! Just remember, for every horrible event that happens there's a good event that'll make up for it in the end!

Wow, Gary. Hope things are going well. I missed this earlier ... I was skiing this week with the kids at Sugarbush. Yikes!
