My new Ski Adventure - day #19
Well today was both Incredible and Terrible ….. The good - last night it got down to about 0 F......and it continued snowing ( 2 days worth ). When it's that cold the snow is what in the Skiing world is known as " Champagne Powder " ( we got 10 inches ) ...you folks in the west get a lot , if not most of this type of snow....here in the East it's not common, we ski on very hard pack or frozen granular, and of course lots of just plain ICE ….. It's quite interesting to look down at your Ski's and not see them also can't hear them … it kind of freaked me out , …...The BAD - had a terrible fall , caught an edge and did a somersault ….. I think I may have cracked a rib or two, took some aspirin and now I'm just waiting to see how bad this might be …. I'm pretty much anti-go-to-the-Doctor, and even if they are cracked , not much they can do, ( I'm NOT spiting up any blood .. yet )... except wrap you up with Ace bandages ….. The weather report for Friday is -10F and high winds, so I won't miss it ….. Monday's forecast is much much better so, I'll try and rest and see what develops …… PS the Sking was " Freaking Incredible ", PPS I still continued to ski, but on less steep slopes , it was mostly OK …...Later … Mike

At our age, we don't bounce back as quickly as we use to. But, sounds like you have skied yourself into pretty good shape. Go easy and remember, "we go where we look" applies to both motorcycling AND skiing. If you look down at your skis, that is where you will find yourself..... heal quickly..... Jim

Hi Mike,
Ya--- soft tissue injuries can take a long time to heal. You may have bruised the intercostal muscles (the ones in between the ribs ). But if you can ski---- I don't think you broke a rib/ribs.
Heal up

Yes, I think that is what happened ….. aspirin makes it feel better , I doubt that would be the case if one or more were cracked or broken ……………. Thanks …. Mike

Off to ski this fine Sunday morning. Mt. Rose has a non-denominational service near the top of the mountain on Sundays. I try not to ski on weekends because it's to crowded for me ( even though Rose usually isnt to, to bad on Sunday. More storms to drop more snow starting Monday.

Truth be told - as a rule I always start out on Green dot trails ( beginner ) …… after I'm warmed / loosened up I usually got to some single BLACK DIAMOND ( expert ) trails because that's when I'm at my strongest ….. then I'll finish the day on the ( blue ) intermediate / advanced trails ….. I had another great day today ( day # 22 ) ………..Mike
