I guess nobody has a video of one those traveling yard sales from the days of runaway straps. Probably a good thing; they were really nasty. The only place I didn't get bruised was inside my boots.

I don't have a picture of the actual fall, but this was a picture I took right after sliding down the Wall at Kirkwood, of the trail I left sliding much of the way head first.
The fall was not my worst because it happened as I was dropping in, but the slide was the worst I've experienced.

The lower picture is of the run, taken from the lift. Conditions were very firm that day, I fell at the top and slid over all those hard bumps and ridges. I spent the rest of the season skiing with pain medication hangovers, because my ribs were so bruised for so long that I couldn't sleep without painkillers.

In the spirit of the above photo...the better the skier, the better the wipeout pictures:
I was at Snowbird 1/28/18 and got together with @Michael R. We are under the Mineral Basin chair and I told him to ski past me and I would take some pictures.



He's looking good and I tell him to ski close to the camera.



I steered him right toward a two foot rock, probably much bigger underneath. It's just below his ski tips in this pic.



I almost get him splattered.



but he scrambles and recovers.



What did JimK just try to do to me?



Later we make up and are all smiles looking off the back of the saddle above Bookends area. That's 11,749 Mt Timpanogos in background.



I'll have to look for more wipeout photos/video.

This was going just fine until...

If there's a camera on me, there's a good chance a crash is coming.

Only one on video. The dangers of the WROD once the race teams showed up. Racer skied off saying I turned into his lane. His coach saw the whole thing and made him publically apologize on the teams facebook page.

Hey, I don't fall.

Just kidding.

No during, plenty of after.

Others have seen me double eject and get up laughing. It is best to fall when others can see it rather than keeping it to yourself.

Back in 2012 or so at Holimont, leaned in...

I don't have video of my worst crashes, which is probably a good thing

Briefly off topic...What is WROD?

 

[Don in Morrison]

White Ribbon Of Death. The man-made strip of snow covering a single run at the very beginning of the season.

My old mentor would ask you if you've got any money in that bank??

I remember the day at Loveland when we both pancaked on the cat track about 10 yards from each other. I also remember the day at Breck when you went airborne with your feet above your head. Good times.

Thanks. I knew it was a niche term when Uncle Google had difficulty coming up with anything other than assuming I had mis-spelt 'word'

I can't show you the fall...........but I can show you the result.

 

[Jilly]

Ouch....

My Lovely crashes!

Not a spectacular fall, but a pretty good little tumble somewhere around aspen mountain.
