Last Run Strikes Again

So the other day, i was at loveland, skiing some mellow pow and i met up with my friend.I was going to take one more run with him, then meet my family for lunch. I texted my dad, "Last run. See you soon." as soon as i sent the text, i knew i had made a mistake. I soon forgot about it though. I skied some good trees, and then popped out to ski some crud under the lift. I go to make a turn, one ski gets caught in a wetter, heavier crud push pile, and my skis cross. i fall over my right shoulder, but my right ski is pinning my left ski down. i hear a 'snap' as i fall. as i stand up i dont realize my skis broken. I continue skiing until i realize one ski tip is higher than the other. I then realized what i had done by texting "last run."

The worst part of this is that two weeks before, i busted one of my lines skiing some trees. the pair i was using was my secondary pair: a pair of like 2008 salomon guns that i got for cheap.
i paid 30 bucks to get bindings put on a ski i would break the next day.


SUMMARY:
On lift.
Text my dad "last run, see you soon."
REalize mistake.
Forget Mistake
Ski trees
Ski under lift
skis cross, i fall, break ski without knowing
stand up
realize ski is broken

Lucky it was just a broken ski and not a broken body part. I'd say you got off with a warning for calling "last run".

you made out pretty good all things considered. broken skis way better than a hospital or doctor visit. always cheaper breaking skis than body parts.

don't doooooo it !
I tore an ACL that way. Now, whenever I'm thinking of wrapping up I always say I'm gonna take another couple of laps.... then if I take only take one, I never said it was going to be my last and I usually end up doing the two anyway

You pay (only) $30 to get bindings mounted. Shut up.

Someone has to warn the people about the dangers of calling last run. If nobody warns the next generation, who could imagine all of the catastrophes that could ensue?!

What the hell were you thinking? You could have been killed. NEVER EVER CALL LAST RUN


Guns don't kill people, last run kills people.

The worst is when a lifty, friend, stranger says it. It's like "Bro, you're lucky I don't fuckin hit you right now bro. Don't put that shit on me. Don't put that shit on me"


Skiing is a dangerous sport but if you looks at the data you'll see that the vast majority of people are injured or killed on their last run.

2011 28,340 Injuries 79% Last Run
2012 36,927 Injuries 86% Last Run
2013 25,114 Injuries 93% Last Run


The facts don't lie. If you call last run may god have mercy on your soul.

I called last run at castleford. It was as I was getting on the lift. I thought: 'fuck, no turning back now'. I skied down the 170m slope with extreme caution. At one point I looked away to watch my friend hit a rail, when I looked back I had to swerve violently to avoid a gaper pizzaing straight down with her poles under her armpits. Nearly lost an eye, I'll never make that mistake again.

Not last run story but same jynx concept...

i was at sugarbush and the sunny d lift has been showing heavy signs of aging. Well last weekend the lift broke and we had to jump off. Fast forward to this weekend and after going about 20 feet on the lift i say "i hope the lift doesnt break again." At that exact moment the lift stopped and they couldnt get it going, so me and my friend jumped off into the slush. the lift was down for a while but a couple minutes after we jumped it started up again but they wouldnt let anybody on. Just a funny story.

Is it okay to think about the last run in your head?

NO. If you have that thought you should think 'na, I can get a couple more in'.

Then keep going till either the lift shuts or your mom calls you to tell you to get back to the house. If the lift attendant calls last run, go home. If it's too late, well... Be extremely careful...

one time i called last run, drug cartels killed my family, my money was stolen in a ponzi scheme involving wooden model ships and a genocide was caused in a third world african country due to a shortage of food caused by greedy and immoral governmental regulations on farming.

kids, don't call last run

you could go so far as to say that 100% of injuries occur on last runs, because injuries generally warrant an end to the ski day
illuminati, man.

It depends on if you're old enough to drink.

Get injured + Hit the bar = good as knew 100% healthy

It's a flawless policy. Mix that with a safety meeting and maybe a few road sodas for the lift and you're golden.

You fell because you expected to fall. Last run is the best run, I always call it. And it's usually the best one.
