    Broke my clavicle on a icy cat track - March POV

    So instead of unloading the sleds at a choice spot in the selkirks (cold temps + high pressure)with my buddies(planned a trip for 12guys, 2 cabins), I am sitting at home right now in my bathrobe with my arm in a sling. I caught my pole in my edge while switching over from switch and got slammed into a icy cat track= broken clavicle and 6 screws and a plate.

    Anyways, la nina was very good to us in march. here is some video evidence:




    Tell me how bad I suck or feel sorry for me whatever...........

    My god that snow looked like perfection. Jeezus.

    Lines were cool and fun looking; Also: that chick is a badass.

    Liked your gully run among other things. You were flying. Keep that up and someone's going to break a clavicle one of these days..

    such a wicked zone, close to town as well. She is a shredder! after she stomped that drop (25+ft) we asked her what she wanted to name it, without hesitation "CLIT DEEP!" fun having a girl around to push you....

    God's way of telling you to leave some goodies for the rest of us mere mortals. Get well, and have fun on your boat this summer!

    not trying to give you shit, just that your column test dimensions are off(way too large) and that can seriously skew your results. if you were doing some other stability test, then carry on.

    Really sucks about the clavicle. I injured myself at the park at SS in February, which stalled my season for a few weeks. It's good to be back at it. I should not go in the park next time.

    Did you actually get your pass pulled at the star? How does that happen?

    there are some super fun lines in the backside that are skiable only on bigger base years. we have been hitting them all year so patrol staked us out one pow day and was waiting for us at the exit. they were cool and we got our passes back pretty quick without having to do the safety lesson.
