This is for a traumatic injury most often seen in the ederly. There is no reason to fear monger unless you have some type of ulterrior motive here. Just so you are informed.. read on. He is nutty cause likes to fly through the air in freezing temps. What should I do?

parent to parent. Practice what you preach... or pot calling the kettle black..? don't you have all kinds of injuries that could be made worse if you fall again? was that you, who tweaked stuff in the past and then came on here to say how you didn't ski well because of those injuries? It's cracked rib ski. if he slips out on an invert and lands on his head he could also break his neck. It is up to him whether he wants to ski, as it stands now he will likely just be cruising around and hanging out. no worries. He went to a general here for x-rays and then a sports specialist here at home. You know what a cracked rib is and so do I. He competed both days after falling and was fine, it was nagging him on monday so we went and had it looked at, lo and behold, a small hairline fracture.

USSA race? and jib academy, woot sounds like there will be some good filming opportunities to me .

wow.......... such mad skillz dood

Icy yes, mess? I doubt it. Not much can be done about the freeze thaw cycle.

Picture is worth a thousand words.

Word, that is exactly what I told him. Thanks!

gapping the bottom of the pipe over the deck to the backside of the viewing/runout area. Kind of hard to describe. You know how a pipe goes undervert at the bottom? He was using that as like a poppy aerial type of lip at 45 degrees to backside.

Make sure you show him your numerous recent repetitive slanderish posts about my filming and about my beach house while you are at it. you kept saying stupid stuff until I responded, I responded and now you want to cry about I am this and I am that? Thou doest protest too much. .

Why not let him heal? It is up to him whether he wants to throw down and quite frankly with the small jumps, I hope he doesn't huck some crap and wrecked. He is really bummed out .. Not sure if that makes sense..... In other words, bigger jumps are safer for kids at that level.

yay.. that is good but not great.. better than what they had, but still pretty lame for what the event is.

Talk to him.. he is a little gun shy right now. He fell on a box the following day and it took the wind out of his sails. He hasn't really had any injuries to deal with its a hairline crack.

So ski, as a skier at SNO are you proud of the quality of your park to host this event? no footage of his fall, he was jumping the 18 foot pipe deck to the other side and landed flat on his side between qualifying runs for the 1/4 pipe. He still qualified for the finals for all 3 events after the fall. His friend said he was 20 foot over the deck, I believe 10 foot.. Could have been a lot worse.

yeah, I remember the disconnect. we are down there nearly every weekend in the summer and early fall and yes. it's no different than hooking up on the hill, come on down, we have boards along with all the toys. BTW stop into Liquid on RTE 1 - it's a new shop with a really large sick selection and............ they have been doing regular bus slopes to the slopes this winter. so they must be good! hahahaa

so ski are you coming to the beach house too? I mean you should fit right in, with taking pictures at high schools, coaching little boys soccer, what else are you into? Oh yeah! talking about it.. obsessed with pedeophilia much?

bump... this guy can ride!

someone go and get some video of this cat... Let us know what you think T..

from who? you ? hahahahaha

Word is they are playing it by ear, as the the news gets out that Boulder is still open, more will come as they did last year.. Lots of kids are already talking about it. If sales are there they will go to MAYDay on the weekends. Figure only one lift operating for boulder trail and bunnys schuss. Closing will happen once the snow cant' be connected to the lifts .

I only have 2 reasons for posting in the Sno forum related to parks. Notice that I post only about parks in the SNO forum. 1. (First and foremost) I want another hill to compete with Boulder. I was hoping that the 2 hills would try and one up each other throughout the season. The end result would have been that the parks at Boulder and SNO would each be better than they are right now. There is no reason we can't have a park here of Western Quality. MY posts are born out of disappointment. They also serve to gather the masses and make some noise that might be heard. 2. (Secondly and reason for most of my antagonism) Salomon Jib Academy. This is an unusual Pro event in freeskiing competitions that needs (obviously) a pro park. IMO it is also one of the few competitions, that manages to pull off what park skiing is supposed to be about and that is having fun! The key component is that there also be a park of pro caliber for the XGAMES athletes and other pros that are coming to throw down and for the kids to get themselves noticed. The comment about not visiting and commenting is bunk. I do not have to visit a park in order to comment nor do many others. Some of the best riders out of SNO are complaining about being misled and how crappy the park is. CLAIM..... I have an average of 75 park days a year at over 20 different resorts for the last 4 years. Combine that with 3 years of daily detailed study along with discussion with park managers, crew, staff. etc etc.. I am more than qualified to post about anything park. I might add also. I look for comments and conditions at parks as an indication before we visit so that our days are not wasted with mediocre terrain. The days before competition season are numbered and precious. SNO's hype is similar to what I kept hearing at CB over the last 2 seasons. They never delivered what they were promising. I remember one item specifically, about their "competition ready" pipe. It was crappy all year, landings flat, poor quality jibs.... props for the park pass system to a park not worthy of having it. Won't be back there as a pass holder. One point that seems to be missing. I am 100% positive that the pipe would not have been built had SNO not contracted with the Revolution Tour. Opening a pipe at this late in the season is a joke because the majority who would benefit from it are deep in to comp season now and have other plans. I believe the Jib Academy is a perk of SNO buying and subsequently renting Salomon Skis. There is no incentive for SNO to deliver a quality park for that event. What a shame, because the people that will be there are leaders in the industry. Had they built a park resembling BB, then they would have secured new sales of tickets for next season by the "stoke" created. I am fairly certain that the converse will happen. I know I am personally embarrassed to have told 3 of the attending pros to not worry about what they heard about SNO back in the beginning of February. "I am sure they will pull it together before the event because the Revolution Tour is the week before" 1 small jump is a slap in the face to the pros, Salomon and the kids that will be there. I predict that SNO will drop the hype about parks next year and just focus on ticket sales, they won't use Neptune, they will send the Zaugg back, they will promote Nick to park manager. It certainly would make sense if that is what they did. After 2 years they certainly have had time to build a reputation park wise. Lets see if reverse psychology makes a difference. BTW Someone was offering DC's contact info. Give it to me, I'll send a note and a reference along with contact information on an outfit that can, will and does parks on site. Guaranteed.

Really... For the best all round ski experience go to Colorado or Park City. Steamboat will be an absolute perfect trip for your first trip. Book for mid feb to beginning of march. Book ski in, ski out. Fly directly into Hayden, use a shuttle. The terrain is mellow at the boat. The atmosphere is more family oriented, however you will find plenty of bars. Booking entirely through Intrawest usually offers you more deals with their partners. Utah offers about the same with a bit more annual snowfall. I think PC gets a lot more crowded though, both are similar in elevation PC offers more difficult terrain and the trees are naturally spaced farther apart if you dare, and you will. The snow is generally a bit lighter than Steamboat according to the stats. Leave Whistler for another time would be my suggestion. Chances are every future trip will pale in comparison with epic conditions, either positive or negative. there doesn't seem to be middle ground with whistler. Whereas at Steamboat, you will likey have bluebird days with a couple inches of snow at night to freshen things up on regular basis. Try to plan your trip to arrive early in the morning to have the extra day to acclimate. Glen is right. Steamboat and Park City are both lower in elevation compared to someof the other Colorado destination resorts. over 7000, we start feeling it. Copper at 9000 definatly gave us headaches. Interesting that the kids weren't affect at an early age but lately it is wiping them out the first day. Or at least it hit nips this year.
