for me...double eject on a bump run at Okemo (my fault, using buddies skis and forgot to reset the din)
torn tricep tendon--clean off the bone.

I've been really lucky with injuries. Nothing serious. *knocks on wood*

This is probably my worst. Last year, my first day out was to killington. They had like 10 inches of fresh with a decent base on most of the trails but the woods were bare the day before. I saw some tracks ducking off the trail and figured why not. I felt bottom right away and started steering back toward the trail. Just before I got out I slid out on my toe edge and smacked a hidden stump with my lead shin while moving at a pretty good clip. I hit the ground immediately. Couldn't believe I didn't shatter my leg. Sure felt like it. This was the next day.
