do you guys ever have those moments pre/mid/post trick thoughts where you know something isnt right? and you know shit is gonna hit the fan fast?
for example.
im doing a simple 360 grab and for some reason mid trick i just realize something is totally wrong and suddenly im a foot away from the landing and my right ski is no longer on my boot, i slam into the landing with all my weight and downward force all onto my right knee, at this point im thinking, well now i have a broken knee, there goes my season...after about 5 minutes of my knee killing it ended up being fine,
so all in all, post your oh shit moments that are skiing related!

I do that all the time. The worst is when I overshoot jumps because I know the whole time while i'm in the air that I'm going to fucking die.

When I was hitting a gap to a handrail skateboarding, i landed lipslide slightly off centre and felt my board just give way underneath me.. "no no no moment", foot goes in between the two rails as i fall forwards.. foot gets caught.. ankle ligaments and ankle go pop pop pop.. essentially I almost pulled my right foot off..

I did a rodeo last week and in the air i noticed my foot was really light so i taught: Oh fuck and then i hit the ground slightly underrotated fell and fucked my thumb and then my ski came flying after me and hit me too.. And now my thumb is still hurting bad and I keep getting huge pain in it whenever it hits something.

Went switch off a lip that popped you up pretty high with only a 15 foot gap so you overshoot like every time.  Caught my tail going off, did a cork switch 180 and I was just sailing through the air like oh shiitt oh .  I landed on my side but was fine.  Scariest thing ever though, was shocked for about an hour.

clipped my edge on the take off from a big-air and ejected my ski; proceeded to fly over the jump and crash very gnarly; luckily didn't hurt at all....

Not me, but yesterday at Northstar my friend ate so much shit off the Third Kicker before the Oakley pyramid rail. It was his first time hitting it, and he was going to speed check it but mid way decided to hit it. He had such little speed that he aired up about 20 feet in the air, and in midair said in the most casual voice i have ever heard 'oh darn, not enough speed" (i was on the deck of the jump so i heard him. He crashed to flat on the middle of the deck, his beanie and goggles came off, his skullcandies snapped in half, and he actually bounced about 3 feet.

Going off the lip on Mtsnows big booters yesterday, i realize i don't have enough speed and I set my cork way too hard, realizing my death is upon me i try to straighten out and if it weren't for my bum speed i would've landed a baller cork 3. instead my shoulder took some damage and isn't feeling to hot.

Once I was going through the park (first run, new park) and there was a big thing that resembled a jump.

I hit it with speed, then, my oh shit moment.

It was a huge mound of snow.

I was 10+ feet in the air, no landing, and a gaper in my projected landing.

Luckily, the victim was laying down and had no injuries.

I was at Northstar early season about about to hit what I thought was a small jump somebody made.

Turns out there was a HUGE rock underneath, and I did my first front flip! Only my ski's were no longer attached to my boots....and I landed flat on my back.

yes, I was skiing trees a couple of years ago and all of a sudden this huge well emerges in front of me, and I think I've got to stop right now!!
two seconds later I was on the other side of the well, there was blood on the snow, and I was screaming for help.

now I'm a ski instructor and I watch little kids fall down every work day. it's like watching a train crash. thankfully so far, no injuries.

Luckily i didn't get hurt

worst is when you spin and you over shoot at the same time, you spot the landing and you realize you are 15 feet above the knuckle. I usually just land switch so I dont have to see the fall ha.

This thread is fairly fitting haha. The other day, I was at Keystone, trying to get my leading tail 5s with a carve and a little more cork and after some failed attempts at getting the grab, I decided it might be easier if I dropped my shoulder like a was doing a full corked 5. Well, to make a long story short, I missed the grab, kept corking out, and landed directly on my right shoulder (didn't help either that the landing was about as hard as you can get without it being ice). Ended up with a possibly broken shoulder and a gnarly concussion (lost my memory until I skied to patrol at the top of the park). The point is though, right after I took off and missed the grab, I definitely said to myself, "Oh no! NO NO NO!"

I'm somewhat new at park, and i have been working my way up to bigger jumps. first one i think looks good for me to hit i scoped it out and watched a few people kill it. i call my drop just going for a long mute before i try spins on this size jump, and becasue i had been told you need a good amount of speed i went in way too fast. i end up being launched much higher and further than i expected and think to myself "shitt", i  landed somewhat backseat on the flat after the landing, get whiplashed backwards putting my arm out to lessen the impact on my back. i now have a broken left radius and left ulna.

i was riding down in the crud/pow and the light was really flat. my buddy built a jump that we were hitting, and i assumed it was the only jump on the run. we hit it a little and went on. i was flying down at top speed to pass one of my friends, leaning back in the pow. i come over this knoll thing and dropped back down, cutting to the groomer. next thing i know, i'm soaring through the air, and my axis is rotating back. i put my chin down to stop my rotation, and i'm waiting to hit the ground thinking, what idiot built a jump there? next thought, oh god, i've been in the air way to long for me to not get hurt. finally, i slam on the ground, landing on my shoulder blades. i tumble down the hill, puking as my body is thrown about by physics. turns out i was alright, but broke my ribs. i landed a good 65 feet away from the jump. worst crash of my life, a week after suffering a class 2 concussion

Did a lincoln loop. Sort of blacked out right at the takeoff. The rotation was like half-finished untill i overshot and landed on my back. Sort of strange that it all went well. Got some bruises. Kinda funny, while i was upside down i screamed something like "holy fuck" hahaaha. I have uploaded a pic of it on my profile.

this one time i was hitting a step up out east and threw just a floaty mute three.. .well as i started to spot my landing i found that i was about 5 feet short and was about to land on an uphill grade... i was still tucked in a ball doing a mute and let go and tried to get my legs out to cushion my impact but i hit, HARD tucked in a ball... my knee proceded to hit my chin and in doing so caused me to bite clean through my tounge, not one whole, but 2. one for each front tooth. there was so much blood haha fortunatly the tounge heals fast but still there was def a moment of "oh god nooo" SMACK!

I went to hood this summer to ski for 5 days in the public park. The first day, i went into the park, overshot the first 2 jumps. skipped the 3rd, tried zero spin off the fourth, decked it, dub eject, facefirst down the landing, and i blew my knee in the process. fun?
