and you guys think there are no babes on the forum

So we're at Killington Saturday and right underneath Needle eye lift is a pretty sweet looking bump run. Seemed a tad icy but Tim and I decide 'what the hey?' and go for it. Well, it wasn't bad- pitch was comparable to Nor'Easter, a bit steeper, but narrow & upon closer inspection chock-full-o' death cookies. Tim took off without issue and I skied the run pretty well- no spills and only one stop. Totally proud of myself as I was awaiting a spill the whole way down. Got close to the end and thought, 'No falls- nice.'

That's when I noticed that the only way out of the run was a loverly V-shaped ravine. Foot in mouth on the whole ‘no falls’ pat on the back. I don't know if Tim jumped it or just bailed early on the run, but I hit it head on and it hit back. Skies jammed into the snow and I flew about ten feet forward, total face-plant. End result is this:

Nice.

I was pretty pissed on impact because I thought I broke a tooth or something and I hate going to the dentist but it turned out to just be a bruised lip. Skied the rest of the day but it was kind of hard to talk. Tim must have had a good afternoon.

Anyway, I think the black lip and skin burns are pretty hot; I might send this pic off to vogue and ask if they can use me for any close-ups in the near future.

Oh- and to the random dude who shouted down that that was the funniest thing he’d seen all week: you’re welcome.

:lol: Thanks for posting the pic! I was just wondering where you guys ended up. See you should have headed for the MRV...

My girlfriend right now is also sporting an Angelina Jolie lower lip - no, I didn't smack her.

Tim must have had a good afternoon.

...but a lousy night.

I was so proud of her, she shook it right off and got back on her skis. While she was gathering her gear another guy came down the run and also hit the ravine, he face planted about 10 feet from my skis.

I'm sorry, sweetie. That sucks! Props for giving it a try though!

How's your face feeling today? Have some wine... it makes all the pain go away... trust me.

 

[bvibert]

BTW, it looks even worse than my face plant last year at Gore:

The swelling had gone down considerably by the time I took that pic at home...

That's hott!



Yes, with 2 "t"s thankyewverymush...

OHHHHHHHH yeah, I remember that! Everybody kept asking if you were in a bar fight! I couldn't believe you skied after that either.

I think you're heading for a face like Brian's tonight!

wink wink, nudge nudge, say no more.

 

[MRGisevil]

Tim, you're in line for a smack down.

 

[Marc]

That's hott!

I believe that deserves a "hawt."

Thanks Carrie! It's not so bad anymore, just hurts to laugh

Tim, you're in line for a smack down.

After my last post there is a good chance we will soon have a picture of my face on the forum all beat up.

thats a funny story. glad you're ok though. Needles liftline is a great trail. usually lots of junk in there to keep it interesting.

I had a good face plant at Wachusett earlier this year. It was a nice high speed crash after catching one of my tips coming down from a back scratcher. Austin saw most of it. The part that sucked most about the face plant was the cankor sore that lasted for 2 week after. That and I'm pretty sure I spraigned my wrist pretty bad too. That still hurts a little bit 2+ months later. I was the exact same way though, since my face went instant numb, I thought I was about to spit out some chicklets.

After my last post there is a good chance we will soon have a picture of my face on the forum all beat up.

And the entertainment quotient continues to rise. I knew there was a reason I liked this place.

You guys should see the size of the bruise on my ass and hip from my fall at the perilous Ski Sundown last week. I can post a pic if you want...

Still sore and swollen.

Are you still rubbing it?

I'll pass on the pics, thanks. No offense.

Indeed, I am. And no offense taken. There's no way I could take a photo of my ass at any angle that wouldn't induce vomiting... :lol:
