last january, i was out on peak 10 at breck. It was probably my third time out on hardboots, so i wasn't very comfortable yet, i was cruising down to the right of the lift(centenial?), still trying to get used to the feel of the drasticly different angles of the plate bindings, when some idiot tourist comes flying out of the trees 20 ft. downhill of me. i throw on the brakes, then wash out 'cause i'm not used the the setup, and go flying down into a snow making machine, spin around, and smack my head on a pine tree. cracked the shell of my Giro Chute helmet, my i got out with only a light concussion. first thing i did was go get a full face.
