    Grande FAIL

    This is a funny that could have been tragic. It will hit home to those of you who ski The CAN regularly. ....Toby, you'll laugh. I'm glad that I can.

    The Nines will open today. Grande and Deschutes opened this morning. While waiting for The Nines to open, I took a few laps on the 37North (Deschutes) side of Grande. The snow was $$$. Fourth lap I decided to enter Grande Bowl from the skiers right (Deschutes run-off). I tried to be very careful to enter the bowl under the cliff. I failed. The only lines, other than mine were patroller lines. Turns out that I was at the entrance of the bowl right at the top and at the extreme skier's right of the cliff. There was virgin soon on it, and I did not realize that it was the cliff. Started my decent, immediately scraped rock, tried to make a left turn, lost my balance, bounced off the cliff, prematurely double ejaculated, lost both skis and a pole, and tomahawked and came to a rest about 30' below the cliff. No broken bones, but sore as FUCK!. The snow is deep, so I had to slide, on my ass, all the way down Grande and walk the Red Pine Road flat to the Patrol station at the Gonjola.

    The patrollers found one ski. Tomorrow, I will go up and look for the other. This is the one time that I am happy that there is no snow in the forecast for the next couple of days.

    If anyone is there and comes across a Kästle MX98, kindly pick it up and give me a shout.

    Look, now I have 3 ass cheeks. This will be black and blue in a couple of hours.

    The first time I skied Grande, my wife and I came in on that skier's right side of the cliff band. It took a lot of billygoating to get back out safely. Definitely an oh-shit moment.

    Heal up soon. That is one sketchy cheese grater rock pile to tumble over.

    2d ski has been found.

    Much appreciation for the excellent work of the ski patrol. Appreciative goodness coming their way.

    I consider myself extremely fortunate.

    If I have skied there once, I have skied there 100 times. Sheer early season stupidity. I hope that this was my only idiot moment of the season.

    Hopefully that alien goes full term so you can be back on skis for many more idiot moments this season.

    Huh, I always thought Schindlerpiste was like 60. Heal up man.

    I went 15’ to a flat landing with a hidden rock 5 or so years ago. Legs went out and I took most of the force square to one ass cheek. Luckily I didn’t break a hip nor a tailbone. The bruise didn’t show for a week but then lasted 8. Took 3 weeks to walk right.

    Thanks for the positive vibes, well wishes and funnies.
    You guys.
    while I

    I hope to continue to ski like I do forever. Who knows what the night has in store, but I hope to take a few laps (albeit gingerly) tomorrow.

    Right now, many deep breaths, and ice bags.

    A buddy had almost the same bruise, (only worse, actually). Jump landing to a hidden 4" diameter stump. He had trouble walking as it healed, but he could ski without pain.
    Well maybe I'm the faggot America

    It's now ugly black and blue, but I don't want to share anymore ass pics. Right now, I feel like I tore/strained a bunch of lower ab and low back muscles. Not going to be a comfortable night.

    Bounced down a cliff band myself once, unfun. Glad you're alright I was as well, scary when you know what's coming and have no control to stop it.

    wouldn't that be polar bear opposite?
    you get all the sympathy. last month in socks i slipped on the top stair. bounced down all the stairs on my back and side. broke 1 rib and separated another. got a tiny bruise on my tailbone. i mean what's the point of breaking something if i can't post a pic on ig?
