was skiing right edge of a trail, guy riding all the way to my left takes a big right blind carve, and I became the buffer between him and a tree ... when I came to, he was gone :eek:

Wow...even with the helmet on, you were knocked out?

It's a shame you didn't catch up with the guy...what a complete jerk. :angry:

my buddy witnessed the act and came to a stop just below me ... he was torn between going after the culprit or check with me since I was not immediately moving ... got my clock rung pretty good with a week long headache and whiplashed body ... it could happen anywhere, but I was midweek at Hunter at the time, and the trail was practically empty ... ya just never know :roll:

HUNTER

I knew it

What trail?

And that's not true...It couldn't be just anywhere..

Had a snowboarder Knock my son over on Belt....and kept going...my wife and youngest where ahead of us...son was ok, and I booked down...

Got between him and my youngest just as he was starting to carve to the left blindly with his back...gave him a real good shove...he would have took her out as well...

And this is MID WEEK

I like hunter...it teaches you survival skills...but now with kids...it's scary...it seems that no one on that mountain knows the code...and there are never any rangers or ski patrol

I hope you got checked out...
