My own tale begins when my friend Courtney was blazing down the slopes, just barely touching the snow-tops every now and then - he was close to flying - and my brother and Dad were also speeding by. I started pushing myself faster than I could safely go. I got off balance, kind of leaning forward against the tops of my boots, and I was trying to recover when all of a sudden there was, like, an 'earth-shift mini-wall' in front of me, and I could not avoid slamming the tips of my skies into it.I do not know if a snow-dozer had just come by cutting out a 6-8" section of the snow and leaving that wall, or if there had been a real earth-shift (dubious, I agree) to create that mini-wall, but I was going too fast, and was too-off-balance to avoid slamming into it. I did not even have the leverage in my position to spring upwards to miss it and roll from there. I just slammed into it, and my head, which I was able to begin to try to roll, got hair-pin-slammed under the rest of me. So it is a marvel that I can be here to write this, as I should have had a broken neck.But, thank God, I made it.With that experience, I would encourage you never to let yourself to get going faster than you can safely go.
