Dracan, Coolmojomushi, and my self arrived at banner elk around 10 this morning.



Made a quick stop by Ski Country to get Dracan's skis mounted.

Some pics from the lodge.













Back in time for some recovery medicine. aka. Hamme's





Had a great time defiantly worth the trip if you had it as bad as we did. Only negative was the snowblowers we looked like we went swimming after the day was through.

I F'ed it up bad. lol

I was getting to daymn aggressive on upper flying mile with some heavy metal blasting in my earbuds, (dude there was natural pow up there!)...About mid way down, I cut a hard edge to my left, and the tip of my left ski hit a rock, or dirt or, something. The tip stuck and I kept moving. I believe my foot rotated close to 80 degrees to the outside.. (T'was a yard sell, I must admit)... havnt had one of those in yeeeaarrrss! When I stood, I knew something was wrong... but I skied the way back down, taking frequent stops. Then I sat my asss in the lodge for a few hr's while the other Bo's got it in... In the mean time, I took like 6 Ibuprofen, saying to myself, "F this, in 30 mins after this shyt kicks in .. I'm heading back out... F the pain!" Then i tried to stand, it wasn't possible.... Actualy, took me 10 mins to walk back to the truck useing ski poles and a million baby steps.



Although, its feeling a bit better but i think that only has to do w/ the painkillers.. I literally heard it pop when it twisted, and my binding didnt release... I felt it as well. Its not folding on me.. but I cant for the life of me draw it up; (Like if I wana kick my own ayss with my heal)... It just will not move, like freakin paralysis. Idk myself, but to loose a movement sounds like a tendon poped to me... funny thing is, there is next no swelling, and no bruises.. go figure? PPl say that if u tear a tendon or ligament it will bruise and swell like helll? I'm quite confused. There is no way I can have an MRI done.. I'm a college student w/ no income and 60$ in the bank... Imma give it a few days anyhow. F'n sux I F'ed my whole season in the first 2 hrs of the first day.



Thanx for the concern dude.
