I guess I'll add the worst injury I've had was last year. I hit a tree jib and landed from 13 or 14 feet up into hard icy snow. Dislocated my patella and was out for a month and a bit. Should've stayed off it longer. Went skiing again and after 3 weeks dislocated it again. I've been skiing all this season, so far so good, but it still doesn't feel the same a year later.
my friend went to go do a backflip. he didn't throw it hard enough his tips caught and he knocked himself out. when he goy up he didn't know where he was and thought he was dreaming. his mother doesn't let him do backflips anymore;)
Just remembered this happened just now. I was at windells for the first time 2 years ago and was going to take a palmer run. I was going mock 10 down the hill. Some Japanese racer was doing his carves and I kept my distance but all of a sudden out of my eye the guy turned right in front of me and I flew about 10 ft. The guy of course didn't know English but apparently I broke his ankle and I was completely fine. Sorry Japanese dude ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Caught an edge going way too fast into some stupid side booter. Lost a ski, but landed on its edge which sliced through my pants and cut open my leg pretty much to the bone just above my knee. Totally a freak accident, looking back I still can't figure out how I managed to make that happen. Spent like a month in a leg brace because if I bent my knee it would tear all the stitches out. Have a badass scar now, so I guess that's dope...

Last weekend i was trying a box 5050 and i didnt realize a rail after it and i ended up trying to 5050 a rail and landed with one ski on and one on the ground. Ended up landing on my thumb full force, its kinda purple still LMfao
Sent a really weird cork 7 at pc. Everybody who skis there knows how rutted out everything gets on three kings in the spring. Caught some snow on the lip, but also and a really weird set. It looked like a misty five to face to knuckle. Then my body did a pretzel on the landing. Broke my marker squire brakes for like the fifth time that season.
there were two boulders on the side of the slope, both had snow covering them, the first had a nice gradual backside, the second had about a 12 foot drop. Paying attention to where you are makes the days hurt less. Nailed the second one dropped a solid 12 feet to flat, very flat. Luckily when my butt hit my look bindings it kicked the backs out from under me and i didn't sit down on my bindings. Nearly kneed myself in the chin.
also I got in some pow on a groomer, lost it somehow I ended up twisted and laying on my ski, I couldn't get my ski off because my back was on my boot and every time I moved any at all my knee would pop. eventually had to reach behind my head and push my ski backwards(knee still popping) definitely the scariest crash I've had. thought i blew my knee for sure
Skiing Grand Targhee after a massive storm that dumped close to 3 feet. Jumping off cat tracks and small cliffs doing half front flips and diving into the snow (jr high gappers style). We both jumped off this blind cliff and he landed on me and broke his hand in 3 places.
