Our family trip to Sugarbush was meant to be the highlight of this season but it turned out to be the opposite. On the first run of the day my daughter lost control, skied off a trail and hit a large rock in the woods.

Thankfully her Giro helmet did its job, Sugarbush Ski Patrol did their outstanding job and God sent a lot of luck our way.

She has a long road ahead but we're hopeful for a full recovery.

Yikes! Hope she has a full recovery, must have been terrible for you to witness. My heart goes out to her, and you, and her Mother.

Oh no!

I can't imagine the fear. My son is just 9 months old and as excited as I am to get him on skis a part of me is nervous as well.

Hope for a quick recovery, glad to see a helmet doing it's job. Let us know if you need anything....
