ankle fracture on our first lap on a sunny bluebbird powday with friends who were visiting from college on-break. total blow to the ego, but surprised by how long you can ski on a busted ankle throughout the day though (Do not recommend).
Hitting my head on the lip and landing and then having Richard Hammond make fun of me. It was some scott tenerman must die level shit.
Tried a dub, but hadn't hit a jumo all season ir been riding since the first week because of collarbone and surgeries. Some skiers were gonns try dubs so i was like fuck it ill send one. Ive done better shit hurt but kind of funny.
No video but rocked my shoulder last Saturday and shattered my collarbone. First run out after stuffing my face with chicken tenders, fries, a waffle, and a Redbull, def wasn't feeling very mobile. Went to nb3 a sideways corrugated tube and right about 180˚ I felt lazy and just kinda hoped the trick would work itself out. Clearly didn't, next thing I know I'm laying on ice and picking up my limp arm with my other one. Knew it right away, skied over to my friends and just said "guys I broke my collarbone" then skied down to first aid. So pissed I did this to myself, all I wanna do is ski.
no vid sorry, I was a deer valley and I was borrowing a pair of ski (mistake number one) without checking the bindings (mistake number 2), which where at 13. Hit a 30 foot cliff and went tips first into a mogul and done did my mcl

Didn't hurt myself or anything but the scariest crash I've ever had is a sketchy lil cliff drop into some steep trees. Lost it right away on the landing and tomahawked through 50 feet of forest praying that I wouldn't hit a tree. Miraculously didn't and just sprawled out on the cattrack below where I landed with no gear at all thinking about how lucky I just got. Only crash I've ever had where I took the rest of the day off just cause of how shook I was mentally.
Broke my neck two years ago. Went freeriding in milky af fog, crashed into a fckn Icebar some guys built. Frontflipped over it and hit my head midair on one of the iceblocks. Was paralyzed instantly and if it wasn´t for my sister i´d probably be dead. Had my first chopper flight to the hospital, surgery took nine hours, same two surgeons over the whole night. They gifted me with a titanium plate and eight screws that now combine my 2nd - 5th vertebras in my neck. They also had to cut a piece of my hip out to built into my new neck and while they did it, they accidentally hit a nerve so now i can´t feel half my ass no more.
I was paralyzed for a whole week, but somehow my legs came back after that and over the next two months my arms joined in as well. They still can´t explain how the fuck i managed to get so lucky during that whole thing. After the first two months i started to learn to walk again which took me three weeks to achieve. Crazy thing was that i knew the movements but my body couldn´t do them in the beginning. My whole balance was completely off after having laid still for two months and i kept blacking out whenever i would raise my upper body a bit, but luckily this problem went over quickly.
Left the clinic four months after my accident, the fastest recovery they ever had over there which i still can´t believe that it actually happened. I kept wearing a neckbrace for the next month, during which my fingers came back almost completely.
Nine months after the accident i stepped on skis for the first time again and been skiing ever since.
Now i´m completely back to normal with the exception of my head movement, which now is limited by 50% compared to you guys and my ass. I now ski with a motocross neckbrace by leatt and a fullface by TOBE to make sure that my head never goes over its new limit in a crash. In the beginning it was a bit strange skiing like that but i fell in love with it, also cos i don´t have another option haha. Last year i ditched my freeride skis and got myself the völkl revolt 121 & the 104, been learning tricks in powder ever since. Lookin back, it´s still surreal for me, met a lot of amazing people during my time in the clinic, one of them a sixteen year old guy who also broke his neck and is now paralyzed for life, but somehow was the most positive guy i have ever met. Changed my outlook on life completely and the whole thing is somethin i´ll never forget.

Glad to hear you were able to make full recovery.
Breaking your neck is no joke, glad to hear you are back on some skis. skiing is dope
Most painful, i was almost blackout drunk at gnar bar and tried a rodeo 5 twice off a huge jump. Id never tried to take a flat 3 to 5 on skis before but i obviously was feeling the send juice. First one was an ugly landing so I tried again and landed right on my side from like a 20 foot step downish jump.
Another time, i did a windlip backflip in a blizzard, ended up switch somehow on landing, and tomahawked about 100 feet, which wasn't too bad except my ski didnt come off and torqued my leg so badly
