Just wondering who all is missing the season this year due to big injuries.

i seem to be running into a lot of people who say they're out because of knees or other shit.

Every time I've gone out in the last 3 and a half weeks, I've hurt myself in some way. Not major, but enough to put me out for a few days. I've sprained my ankle 4 times, done something to my shoulder 3 times, I have knee problems so I can't really ski anything thats not powder or not constantly stressing my knees, and yesterday I got a concussion. I've been able to ski about 1/3 of the time I've wanted to in the past 3 and 1/2 weeks. Seriously, this suck so much more than you can imagine, because I've hurt myself almost every day I've skied. And now I can't ski family day weekend. Its a five day weekend for me, and I'm stuck doing nothing. I would honestly rather have some kind of ridiculous injury that I can actually talk about, but all I get is minor stuff that builds up so I can't ski.

im pretty sure i broke my thumb last year towards the end of the season my whole hand was pretty much black and blue. i found if i wrapped it alot and used gauze as padding for mysecond knuckle near my palm it helped it not hurt holding on to a pole as much

I've been out since Christmas because of knee surgery.  I'm hoping to try a few groomers this weekend, but I'll have to see where the knee is by then. 

And what have I done with all the spare time?  Well, I've been slowly going insane.  Not that skiing would have prevented that.

I decked it in the pipe late january and seperated my AC(something in your shoulder) as well as completely tearing some ligaments. Able to ski lightly soon but wont be in the park till sometime in march. But its all good to kick back and log in some time on NS.

Did a 3 in the pipe, clipped the deck coming down and landed in the flats directly on my shoulder, 13 ft to ice.  Broke the top part off of my humerus, had to get put back together with screws, and i also fucked my rotator cuff(sp).  Go back in 4 weeks to see the doc, hopefully I'll be back out for spring break.

I knuckled a jump (embarrassing straight air just to get a feel for speed) and it launched me forward onto my collar bone. It broke into three pieces The piece coming out of my shoulder blade fell down and forward, the middle piece was about an inch and was completely vertical and then the part coming out of my spine was fine. After i did it i skied down the hill and could feel it moving and shit...which is wierd as hell. I was pissed when they told me I had to have surgery or else my shoulder would be like "permanently curved and have life long repercussions" haha, this shit sucks though hurts like a bitch you in the sling and body wrap?
