stepping closer to a cliff to get a look at what's below it. I was a dumbass and took my skis off to hike over, while I was looking down the snow beneath me slipped and I fell about 15-20 feet bouncing off rocks on the way down. landed in powder and came out with a couple bruises so not too bad on the injury front.

landing on my face halfway down the landing on jump 2 in medium line at key was a great time, you know it's good when you leave a blood trail on the landing. Also tomahawking 50 feet at the basin and none of my sis popping off, twisting my knee super bad sucked chodes.

Went for a nollie front off the rainbow box at taos, tried to send it deep but stupidly popped way to hard off the apex of the rainbox, and came around ready to land on my feet, but with another 7 feet to fall to the flat area after the landing. Course rather than tucking up and trying for an accidental double or at least making it around enough to land on my back, i instinctively opened my body up trying to stop the rotation while now slowly flipping another 180 degrees forward and being real fuckin scared for what seemed like forever. Basically i bailed like i got kicked in the back off of a roof, but tripped on the edge of the building on the way off. Then my head and arms hit ground first and my feet and skis keep rotating over and i scorpioned and rolled over my neck and slide to a stop. Was really grateful to ski away from that one... my friends said they thought i was have to catch a heli outta the park.

Wish i had a video of it, but basically this really quick type flip: https://www.newschoolers.com/membervideo/672316.0/Nollie-Front---wolfcreek-11-12-13?s=210808&t=6&o=8
off this feature but going twice as fast:
https://www.newschoolers.com/membervideo/685536.0/1-Trick---4-Attempts---No-Success?s=210808&t=6&o=8

so i guess the worst thing that happened this season was i had my worst wreck yet and didn't get it on film :)

I was skiing really tight trees, caught an edge, straitlined for 20 yards with no room to slow down, hit boots on low lying branch, double ejected, and catapulted into a tree. I was pretty sure my tib/fib was broken when it happened but after a couple days of ice and limping i was back at it.

Overshooting a cork seven to complete flat, landing so far forward that both tips go into the ground causing my brand new toe piece to snap in two and my arm snapping into four and then on top of that after 10 weeks in a cast I found out I needed surgery leaving me with two plates and 20 screws

When I realized midseason, that the season as a whole had sucked so far (Bad weather, no progression, injuries). Luckily for me it went from being the worst season ever to the being the best season ever, after late season rolled around.

Broke the heel on a set of markers into multiple pieces on a landing that got taken deep. Bought some FKSs, fucked up the brakes the same weekend to the point where they were unusable on a cork 5 gone wrong, warranty replaced them but that took over a week out of my season. Then proceeded to concuss myself on a cork 9 where I caught an edge on the landing.

Broken Wrist. Story: I was mocking down a groomer and making big arcing turns across the trail (no one was in front of me). Then out of no where someone hit into the back of my skis. My skis went sideways I double ejected (not good when you're going 50mph) and was launched into the air. I came down on my right wrist, and then went head over heels a few times.
Had a cast for a few weeks which I could ski with, but it kind of threw my whole season off, and in it was right in the middle of my competition of my competition season

Skiing down to my car at keystone on st Patricks day. It was about 130 when we decided to leave after lapping the park all day. Headed down I'm goin first hauling ass (too fast for a slushy icy spring day) and I reach the roller section under the lift. This place being notorious for being the area where my roommate Mackenzie slammed his noggin on a boulder. So the first roller being a bit steeper from park crew making adjustments. Here I am not knowing the changes try to absorb the transition slam into the lower rollers and I slip out sliding sideways into the tree next to the lift tower and notorious boulder.

I'm there hugginig the tree when my friends arrive and Im there moaning like a bitch trying to catch my breathe. I had my friends get patrol cause it was more than just knocking the wind out of me. I get into the clinic and get the result of splitting my liver in two and major internal bleeding.

nine bags of blood and an ambulance ride later I end up having emergency on my liver and spleen.

If I had not called patrol and just played it as "knocking the wind out of me" and had gone home I would not be here.

So that's my season ender

Under rotated a 7 and hit my head. Instantly knocked out and went into a seizure. Severe concussion and brain hemmorage. I don't remember much of that day or the next few days. College semester is now in jeopardy but I'm here and okay :) wear those helmets kiddos. I wouldn't be the same person mentally if I didn't have mine on.
