Replying to ANDRE BERTONCIN and his life changing fall.

Im just sending out the love to the coolest kid i know. His name is Andre and on the 1st of 2006 he went to ski up in Taos, NM, as a normal but not so normal day. For those hu hav skiied Taos theyl know what chair #2 is, well its the one that gets you to the top and is a chair that doesnt really have any low spots. Well anyways he fainted on the lift and slid under the bar falling 30ft to ground, if the slope he landed on was flat he would be at least paralised or probly dead the the little 20 degree angle saved his life. His step-father is head of the mogle medical (Taos ski valleys medical facility) and herd sumone had fallen of a lift. He rushed up on a snowmobile and saw his lifeless sons pants...and jacket...and son still on the ground. He switched from father mode to docter mode imediatly. They got he down...ambulanced him to Taos hospital and helicoptered him to Albaquarqe. Yesterday jan 4th i went up to visit him. It killed me to see the pain from his mother Teresa and little sister Nataly and his whole family. He has shattered his pelvis and his pelvis has moved up around his organ area, hes fractured 6 ribs which have lead to a punctured spleen and lungs. He came out very very very lucky. He was the best freeskier out of our group and is probly the only one who had a chance at going any where with it... and there saying hell be lucky to be skiing in 2 years. He will b in the hospital for at least a month and the rehab on a wheelchair for at least 4 months, then he has to learn how to walk all over again. I am his best friend. Im preaty weak skier living in his shadow. This is a real story and it hurts me alot. It was hard to look at him, so fragile. He will b fine and hes alive so thats all i care. I hope who ever reads this thinks about Andre and sends him sone love. From Cooper to Anyone who reads and cares but mainly to Andre Bertoncin, well love you forever!
