Alright, i wasnt skiing here. but i was in the same town.
But my sistr was skiing a few weekends ago. everything is going fine. she's having a great time blah blah blah. she goes up the tow rop. and as she reaches the top of the hill. she drops her pole. she goes and picks it up and she heard a snap in her knee and immediatley falls down and starts balling. she gets a sled ride down to the Ski-patrol.
she goes to the local hospital (this is when i was there) and nothing was broken. but they said she shud go take an MRI when she gets home
she goes home, takes an MRI. she waits a week. and it ends up that her MCL is torn. and a bone in her knee died? (thats what she told me)
Moral of the story, if u drop ur pole. be suprr careful when trying to pick it up
