Sounds like maybe I should stay away from this guy?
I went to Keystone today as it was the only place I haven't been yet out of the Abasin, Key, and Breck. I found a run off to the side that was groomed and fairly empty. As always, I stop at a crest and wait for it to clear out below me as well as above me, just to make sure one of those bad wreck stories you always hear about doesn't happen to me. I started with a heel side, then toe side, looked uphill again and didn't see anyone, pulled almost all the way through my next heel side and got nailed from behind. Big guy on a snowboard, probably around 250-300 pounds. I flew about 10 feet from where I was hit and rolled about 10 more, based on the marks on the hill. The other guy however must have been flying down the hill as he came to a stop around 50 feet below me. After we both got up, I watched him go down the hill and this was obviously one of his first couple times out. Just goes to show that no matter how careful you are, you can't always avoid the idiots out there.
His board hit me in the back of my bindings. Made a decent sized gash. I am assuming these are still safe to ride with, but just wanted to see what you guys think.
