Thanks all. Worlds Better today already. Hoping it heals fast... Kudos to sundown patrol, and perhaps even more emblematic of the kind of place sundown really is is an in an event occurring after i was discharged from patrol and waiting for my wife-One of the instructors who taught both my kids to ski saw me struggling in the lodge trying to pack up and offered to help me get my boots off and drive me to the hospital- great guy and one of many that make sundown the type of place it is. Hope to be back soon, until then will be lurking in the lodge while the kids ski.
Oh no Madroch, sorry to hear... hope you feel better soon!! Speedy recovery as well!

You have had one rough week. Seems you got good support form the area and that's nice. Also sounds like your girl is raring to go and not too shaken up. I hope you don't loose as much as 8 weeks but if the season keeps going the way it has then it will seem you picked the right year to get wrecked. I hope you mend well.

Looks like we need to start a new IR list like we had a few seasons ago. A dear friend of mine (not a AZ member) went down with a broken pelvis just before Christmas. My sympathies go out to you. Rest up get better and hit it again when you are better.

PS, buy a Smartphone, the iPhones are so yesterday.
Was somewhat joking about putting mtn at ease..patroller said i hate to ask the obvious but how could the accident have been avoided and I said don't cross your tips or keep your phone somewhere other than chest pocket. It Hurt to laugh but he was pretty funny. Good bedside manner. He also said they also use data gathered to examine industry safety-- maybe we will see padded phone pocket protectors.. lol.. I know I will be sporting a fanny pack come spring. I admit I had thought of the rib issue with the phone... But always figured what are the odds.. my bad.
Thanks for all the good vibes... Daughter gets checked out tomorrow by her doc- she has been fine- appetite is back and no more headaches- and at least appears eager to get back out there.

I always carried my blackberry in my chest pocket, until I read about your unfortunate accident. Hope you heal up quick and thanks for sharing, may have saved a fellow AZer from a similar incident.
My son carried his ipod (and now iPhone) in his snowpant's pocket. Landed wrong on a rail hard one day, cracking the iPod completely. Not sure any pocket is safe. But at least the device took the punishment - there was only a bruise to his leg. Replacement coverage took care of the device.
Hope you heal quickly!

Was thinking of pants pocket as alternative to the sylish fanny pack look.. but thought a nice side bruise might be the result... your story confirms. although, as I don't do rails not sure how I could fall squarely on my thigh-- but again, never thought I could superman squarely onto my chest without some other part of my body hitting first... but I did.
Feeling better- dangerously so. Hurts at night, and when I bend/stretch/pull and breathe deep-- but it is so much better than the constant pain that dreams of skiing are filling my head...my head screams patience but my jones screams ski... I'll be able to hold it offf for at least a while longer I think...unless we get a nice thump of fresh....
