people should stop being pussies and only call last run when they really mean it.

like, "ok, last run bro...cos i am sure as shit planning on hauling ass straight into a parked car head first"

Well... People usually call "last run" then have six more... so obviously the last run you get injured on... is... your last run.

I've called last run a couple of times in short sightedness but nothing terrible has happened to me. *knocks wood* . I know too many people though who've got themselves hurt after calling "last run".

Not superstition, just the odds.

The trick is to not keep track of time. Then when the liftee says last run try as hard as you can to get back to where your shit is!
Or if it's the getting near to the end of the day and you stomp a trick. call it then.

ya its definetly a bad idea to call last run. i was skiing my last run in the pipe and i was like, i wanna go big to finish the day off on a high note. so i drop in with a shit load of speed, catch an edge as i was comming down, and then face plant on the bottom of the pipe. it sucked so bad. i thought i had a concussion at first, i was dizzy and i felt like vomiting..

DONT CALL IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Fact for sure! If you call your last run it won't go the way you planned it to.

my friend and i were up at sugarloaf when i said the we should hit up the park one last time so i could try and do a shifty 1 into a sw 3 or 5 because i had just gotten grabs on my 3s earlier.. so we cruised from the halpipe to the superquad and right when we got there the lift closed... it was so fucking lame, i really wanted to try those two tricks back to back since i hadnt done them before on over 20 foot tables

It's either 2 minus 1 run or take two runs and skip the last one, never call last run.

Never call last run. Ski until you get to the lift and they don't let you on.

Motherfucking fact.

My dad and his friend, who both have done summits around the PNW and Alaska, skiing at a local resort one winter. They called last run and made a conscious decision to call it easy. Down the cattrack, just cursing, and my dads friend snags an edge and falls weird. Tumbles and slides to a stop (80's, all gore-tex) and looks down to see his femur sticking through his ski pants.

Two seasons ago, I'm skiing with Ashley Z, a chick I met through NS. We're taking it easy and doing baller BC cruiser runs through some new April snow. End of the day, tons of great pictures, and we get to the cat-track after a huge run. Lifts are closing, so we head down it to the base, knowing this is the last run of the last day at this resort. I'm messing around on the side of the cat-track, hitting the ba-donk-a-donks and shit, and she follows... and somehow manages to snag a tree branch from under the snow. She slides 180, skids awkwardly, and hears a pop - its her ACL.

FACT. Some people can blame that shit on the lighting or say your tired, maybe but you almost always get fucked up. Just take a tree run/sesh and ski another 6, dont be a pussy
