I imagine he went to the lodge and ask where he could sell his board.
A good choice
O had a similar incident in 2011. Flying down a hill tried to stop hard, ski flew off, tried gain control with other side ski, that ski flew off. Disappeared. I was 220 with bindings later found for someone 130lbs. I was cartwheeling. Flying down mountain I saw some tees coming up. I thought this is it. This is how I die. There was a weird calm that was over me because I had no control. Bam. Broke couple bones in my leg tibia and fibia. I shouted out fuuuuuuuck!!
But the adrenaline alone was a pain killer and to where I was happy I survived. I was making jokes the sleigh ride down.
I tried skiing a year after that, but I went down once slowly and couldn’t do it anymore. All passion I had for skiing was gone. Replaced by that moment. Sold the skis/boots/poles for 20. Total was around 1600. I remember first lift ride after that. My hands were shaking. I was a diamond skilled skier at the time.
You and I had similar skiing style. I wasn't having fun unless I was pushing the edge. I was more fortunate than you and escaped such a life changing event. I quit and stuck to playing hockey. I happy I never did snowboarding as so many people I know destroyed their knees.
Why do I have a -1 for a reply here? 🤷♂️
