Hi Pete,
two types of skiers, the sane, and everybody else. Sorry to hear you never bounced off a tree. I remember one time I was screaming down Loon, when one foot hit a bump and I missed it. I did a slow spin, and bounced, it gets a little blurry at hat point, but I bounced twice more before sailing off the slope, burying myself upside down in the snow like a lawn dart. Was down there for an hour, took me a few minutes to right myself (amazing how you can make a breathing space when you're buried in snow), and then about 1o min of struggling through the quicksand-like snow and going nowhere before I started to holler. Another time I tried to imitate a movie stunt on a sand dune and do a tuck and roll on a steep incline. Not as easy as it looks. When I woke up some time later, I couldn't move. I looked to my left (after a few minutes movement became thinkable) and saw a big ugly rock, right where my head would have been, if I had landed 6 inches to the right. I used to climb cliffs, never could afford safety eqipment.
Saw a perfect one, for my modest skill level one day in north western Conn.
Not impressed, I know. I was wearing wingtips. Climbed it anyway. I have no idea why I'm alive. Ever do 60 mph on a mountain bike?
