- that feeling when youre falling forward on a rail with the rail behind your front heel piece

- when you get to that point where youre not going to recover from how cold and wet you are until you go inside

this. especially when the cord gets caught in some piece of your clothing and your earbuds are tugging down at your ears when you stand up from the chairlift

Catching front edge on a rail for sure

When you set too hard on a backflip and the landing is still 10 feet below you and you sloooooowly over rotate and backslap

I remember when I was younger bombing some of the "powder" on the trail. Snow was piling up and I was cruising feeling awesome. It was the last run I think too and my mom was waiting at the bottom. At some point I caught both tips and went face first into the cold snow. Went from hey ma look at me to DFHIWFIHFISDNKGFKSKGK. Can't remember if I cried or not. That was a traumatic Awesome to Shitty moment for my 6 year old self.

I'd say popping your binding off from your ski just due to brute force.

when you under-rotate to a complete half spin(like 90 for better reference of how you would land) on a jump/rail and you crash Hard. Shit never feels good, and all of the times it has happened to me I got caught on the blind side of the spin, so I had no idea that it was going to happen.
