Sorry to hear that nancy2. When you say "some idiot", does that mean he just ran away and you don't know who he is?

nancy2 -I'm so sorry to hear of your accident .

I'm a 64 yr old who refuses to grow up and probably push myself too hard and ski too fast ----------------------but damn I LUV this sport

I've had my share of broken bones( wrists twice) and other chronic issues and so has my wife ( she had the screws /plates job etc) 2 yrs ago and while recovery DOES take longer now we refuse to go calmly into the long night !--

Live life , Collect people, enjoy each day and continue to push yourself because the Alternative is SCARY

While skiing at Blue Mtn last season, a snowboarder collided into me in front of a patroller. The kid said sorry but was clearly outta control and tried to leave the scene until the patroller stopped him, took down his info and gave him a ticket. I've also seen Blue patrollers issue tickets for speeding in posted slow zones. Maybe we need more of this and verbal warnings to teach some lessons.
