Conditions wet but nice- second run crossed a tip- catapaulted onto chest - where iPhone conveniently stored. X ray showed cracked rib- than had a cat scan to rule out tear in lung and or spleen. Out for 8 weeks and in serous pain- although I have ammo for that. Bad week, lose my girl thurs and me sat- my son who witnessed both was looking a little green.

Terrible end to the year for you and your daughter. Hopefully you can get back out there sooner!

How did the phone hold up?

iPhone fine- no sled I had to find my son- survived but it was a scary painful trip down tempter- the poor kid may never ski again, watches his sister get flattened and then me all pale and gasping for breath being sent to two hospitals.

ouch!!!! Here's to a speedy recovery. It's funny how one little twitch can mess up a season.

That's tough. Here's to hoping that rib heels up fast. Hang in there.
