Saturday took rest from the slope...
Sunday Start early 8AM landed in main parking lot. Decided took Kessler 162. Met Dave* and Cousin of Beagle. BlueB on the way to join. Decide to take Eagle chair. Have to wait for 15 min before patrol go head. Clear blue sky temp around 5C. What cud be better knowing can carve on nice day and the pro's around BlueB & Dave*
Nice smooth sugar silky groomed corduroy on Fork & PGS, first run seems slicing the philladelphia cheese with hot knife, and able to lay low on both heel & toe. Saw the result with Dave* from the chair and decided to make smaller radius.
2nd run board able to hold on tighter turn and maintain same velocity, 1- 2 times tail loose and keep close to ground on each turn.
Suggestion from BlueB after seeing several times on this baby Kessler to stop searching and stick to this KST - no argue on that:ices_ange!!
3 run Take upper fork and connect to Lower PGS, saw these two "softboot" instructor sitting in the middle of lower PGS run and decide taking from their left, made big wide toe turn lay low, contour change a bit steep, board still hold edge but half way turn bord start jibbers and lost grip, slide down & try to recover while slide down, suddenly nose got the grip and wants to finish the turn going up but tail don't get the grip and went down instead paralel with slope. Rear leg streched to max down nose up push front knee all the way up to chest and decided to pull rear leg to get the grip and that POP :eek:sound came from rear leg and the rest was history.
Still manage walk to parking lot, I guess boots:biggthump hold everything firm inside and made it to hospital.
Xray & CT Scan reveal Tibia on Medial Malleolus (inner right ankle) broke in 2 places (3 parts). I guess the twist & pressure when try to recover & pull the leg up snap this section...
Need to consult to surgeon on Wed if surgery needed. Well @ least six week need to recover and bla3x so might be my 08/09 season ends here:freak3:. But will see...
Have fun guys and enjoy the snow for me...
Cheers
