Another convert, the gondi sucks. Bring back the double! :)

For me a bunch of sprains and hyperextensions. Over all I'm pretty
banged up, can barely twist my neck.

I would say only if they effect your skiing.

Hi honey, how's what's his name doing, tell him I'm still pissed about him bailing on me last week.

Fortunately my knee injury was only a sprained MCL, which happened the first weekend in Feb. on cascade.

Knee worked well this weekend, bumps on the fiddle were making it hurt, as was the stump in Patsy's. Pretty sore after the weekend though.

Severe internal bruise of my right Calf when my right ski desided to go into a hole and twist and press my leg around in the boot doing about 40 MPH. Still cannot buckle the top of the boot after 4 weeks so I use only the power strap on the right boot. Fergetabout trying to put on the Dobermann Race boots. Just ain't gonna happen until the calf is small again.

Oooh, you just missed a Maison Neuff. I did it in '94 on Inteceptor,
the flat run out of course, in some EC cement, after bouncing all through the crap on the upper trail unscathed. The Langes were so stiff we used
to leave the top buckles way slack. Leg twists in the boot, the binding
doesn't release because of that, the fibula spirals on the top and the
inside of your leg calf to ankle is shredded. Only seven weeks in a
cast no surgery, can't bitch, but I was never the same. The thing I
most remember is the ride from the first aid station under KBL to
the clinic down at Snowshed at the time. They came with a pickup,
said you want the front seat or the back bed, full of sand. I took the
front seat, of course the guy slams the door on my cardboard boxed
leg and I had to shift the gears while he clutched. Ah, the good old days.

Good Ole Days? Dam, glad I missed it. Also, glad I didn't get the full Monti on this. Spiral Fracture of the fibula? OUCH. Actually I figured the way it swelled and held fluid, plus no bruise for a week, I might have fractured it. still a posibility, but Doc felt it was OK after I showed up 2 weeks after the fact. Hopefully I will never attempt the fracture route again. The bruise hurts quite enough.

Left acromioclavicular (AC) joint injury (left shoulder) about a month ago on an edge catch - duh. Hurts like hell but should be better in another month. Saw the ortho Monday and he said keep skiing with it and come back in six weeks. similar to a hockey player being checked into the boards.

Last year this time - fractured femur head - total hip replacement.
