Looks like you went a.. over tea kettle.
#4: Tom King (sgusa) on Nov 28, 2012
Exactly, Norma. Trav, I have a season's pass this year.
#5: Joel Lynn (furface1) on Nov 28, 2012
Hope you get to ski the whole season!

New version published by sgusa.

I saw the big red question mark, and decided to solve it again. I couldn't so added a pixel, then changed another. While solving the new version, I saw what I had missed (the change in pixels didn't matter). Oh well...

Here's to helmets! I was in a ski cross with 3 buddies (ski race as seen in the Olympics). I was way ahead and flying. It was extremely icy. Mission Ridge gets to about 70° in the sun during the day, and freezes solid at night in mid-April. I hadn't pre-slipped the course, and a gate way out to the right caught me by surprise. I made it, but went down immediately after. My head hit first. I would be dead without a helmet (probably braindead spending as much time as I do here, anyway). ;) Flipped over, and broke my leg. Flipped over 3 more times. Probably like jumping onto a Tarmac going 30-35 mph.

get many autographs?
#12: Tom King (sgusa) on Dec 1, 2012
Nope. It was just soft cast then I moved right into an airboot.

Found to be solvable with moderate lookahead by infrapinklizzard.

We call that a Yard Sale, when your gear is scattered all over the slope after a wipeout.

Hope it's long healed and you're back on the hill Tom!
