what is your biggest fear when you ski.

mine is if you fall and another person is going off the jump behind you

and there's this one chairlift at squaw that's a two person and at some points you're over 60 feet away from the snow. pretty sketchy.

avalanches, tree wells, losing skis, and injury. i do well at not thinking too much about the last one though.

over rotating a front flip would probably be the top of my list just because of the scorpion affect upon impact...

Yeah, I'm always afraid I'm gonna land on some idiot sitting on a blind landing. It's gotten to a point at my local mountain where it's risky to hit any jump without a spotter.

haha this happened to me once. i was waiting at the bottom of the jump/begining of lift line (cause they are so close) and this little gaper kid i see is comming kinda toward me, so i move out of my way to get out of his. as i turn to get into line he just plows into the back of my legs, and heading my knees so they give way. haha i fell on that little kid, he got up and was like "sorry sorry sorry sorry sorry sorry sorry" but i just laughed it off and the kids dad came over and said i should watch myself. hahhaha

i fear the cold, so i stay in the lodge. my skis dont get scratched, and half the time i dont even bring them, so i dont have to worry about them getting stolen. thats what skiing is all about.

I regret to say my only 2 fears are

1. Falling off the lift at maximum height.

2. Roots at the top of cliffs and rocks at the bottom for some stupid fucking reason.

So far, never encountered either. Thank god.

I have a couple, all of which I have happened to me at least once.

Hitting a tree under the snow.
nutting.
no more powder.
not releasing when I epic fail.
twisting the SHIT out of something in my leg.
