Build that base up in Taos! Be there the week of the 13th.

Usual Breck deep 4" up high kind of day. Everything opened real quick with the lack of wind with this storm.

**skiballs** · 02-02-2022, 11:22 PM

4 to 5 inches of cold dense snow at monarch.
Windchill on top was running around-40 or so.
I don’t care who you are, that’s cold.

I have to view that as you've been a monumentally successful dad. Think of how much joy skiing has brought you, how much it's taught you. And you built that fire in your kid. Congratulations.

Switch OVER the road.

Pics or it didn’t happen.

Yep Joel saying potential for bigger storms in two weeks. Again. Although this one did hit big for wolf creek and Taos so it wasn’t completely off I guess. Hmm might start loosely planning a jaunt down to Taos if this happens again.

Does this look normal? That blower powder and a fucking hole got me at Monarch. On the way to the hospital to see how many ligaments I managed to destroy.

That's weird on the pics. Just had emergency surgery. Fucked myself up far worse than oinitially thought. Pretty much tore everything and broke tib/fib and patella. Also ended up with something called compartment syndrome - calf was swelled like a watermelon and hard as a rock. No idea WTF compartment syndrome is but was literally told that I could lose the leg if they didn't do surgery immediately. Guess I will be hanging out in the gimp forum for a while. My season is officially over.

**Elkhound Odin** · 02-04-2022, 07:44 AM

Sounds horrible. Much worse than my broken dislocated arm a month ago. You seem to be taking it well.

How did it happen?

Still can’t see pics

**hawkgt** · 02-04-2022, 08:23 AM

that sucks CS, hope you heal up soon.

Don't sell yourself short, your break looked legit.

I was at Monarch and hit a hole on a run out out covered by about 6" of windblown mashed potatoes. Right ski went in, I somersaulted forward, ski was completely jammed in the hole and the binding didn't release. Probably bad luck more than anything.

Yikes, that sucks, hope you recover fully.
I just missed a hole like that on a runout.
Give a shout if you need a hand with anything, I live in the springs.

Dang dude, I tore my ACL just about a year ago, still healing, but getting out again feels good, you’ll get there. did you tear the ACL or MCL as well? Was it all just on one leg?

It sounds like you liquified your leg.

Vibes Poser, best of luck through rehab

**Danno** · 02-04-2022, 09:46 AM

fuck dude, sorry, that sounds painful. Sure sounds like the binding should have released, but the ways of you fixed heel people are strange and confusing to me. hope the healing and rehab go well.

**EWG** · 02-04-2022, 09:56 AM

Super sorry for you man. Good luck and heal up as fast as possible.

++vibes, springsdude.

**goldenboy** · 02-04-2022, 10:41 AM

Bummer and ouch. Good thing you didn't just try to ice the leg so you found out about the compartment syndrome. I've known a couple of people who had that and you don't want to let it go. Find a good doc and heal up- I know of a doctor in the Springs that didn't do a very good job on a friend of mine, so do your research.
