every single season, they fall off early summer, take till early fall to grow back, and then very shortly there after, die off again.

I lost one a few weeks after ski season ended. I wasn't sure why skateboarding was hurting my toe so much.

I lost mine 2 years ago, and my feet are UK 14 so the nail is HUGE! Anyway it never really grew back properly and it smells BAD...

Also when it happened it got blood underneath it and so I had to stick a pin through the nail and pierce the skin underneath, was painful but kind of a nice release...

This is the first season I didnt lose a toenail.  usually I lose both.  I blame it on the shitty snow year we had, so lack of big jumps to land backseat on.

I've only lost one toenail ever, and that was a long time ago when my parents dropped a trophy on it haha. Lost a fingernail because it got slammed in a door, as well. I've never lost any body parts because of skiing, seems like you guys need better fitting boots.

you only need to get through the nail, you wanna try not to get into the skin underneath.

and a drill works better than a pin as well.

I read in a ski rag to be a true skier you gotta lose a toenail at least once.

drill press is the best, with a very small bit and put the blowtorch on it obviously before you do it.
seriously doesn't hurt at all cause you can go super slow until it bursts and it is accurate. Only had to do it on fingernails though, my big toenails usualy crack early on in the season sideways so the pressure is relived, sometimes they fall of though.
