patmoore Posted March 1, 2017 Report Share Posted March 1, 2017 (edited) Day 3 and some interesting color patterns are beginning to appear.... The biggest annoyance is eating. When I caught the rope in the mouth it chewed up a lot of skin inside the mouth and it's painful to eat anything but the most bland foods.

Not sure why. There's never been one there before. I consider myself lucky the rope didn't catch me in the throat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ursle Posted March 1, 2017 Report Share Posted March 1, 2017 I was there fri the 17th, the rope was up, no nastar course set, it ruined Bull run, I was there mon the 27th, no rope, Bull run was great. When they don't use the rope to split Bull run in half what do they use? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This wasn't the rope on the side of the course. It was a hundred yards above the course stretched across the trail. Skiing into the sun I didn't see it. IN retrospect I'm lucky it didn't catch me in the throat. The collarbone feels as good as can be expected. The inside of my mouth is raw from the rope burns. Spicy foods are out for a while. No NASTAR this coming weekend because of "Light the Night" festivities but it returns the following weekend. My partner can do the course setting and pacesetting and I can sit in the booth and handle timing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eric Brammer aka PSR Posted March 4, 2017 Report Share Posted March 4, 2017 Pat, have you talked to Patrol about that rope? When we'd cordon off a slope, the rope had to have 'flags' along it (this, in my case, was usually Sel's Park entrance, or on the Banks on Lower Chief), and often, the orange-mesh fencing was employed, too. Perhaps a 'safety review' of special marking should be done. A few well-placed lines of flouro-paint and/or flags along the rope might've given you a better hint that an artificial obstruction was in your path!

Wow, clotheslined in the middle of the trail, we used to do an adult league race at Ascutney, you had to check trails carefully for snow makers in the trail, equipment in the trail, etc. i noticed this past mon that there were lines up in lots of places, the deck in front of the lodge, the parking lots, but really closing off a trail, leading to the Nastar course. Recouperation on a warm island is highly recommended Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you can, it is really useful to get onto doing some physio and cross training to build up the strength in the rest of your leg muscles which an help protect what you have left of the ACL which as you know is a permanent injury (it won't grow back). I personally found lots of hamstring strength and working out a lot on a stationary trainer focused on circular spinning on the bike (not mashing) really helped, along with weights, building up a lot of leg strength - your test from what I remember is 80% of strength of your uninjured leg, somewhere in that range is pretty important.

lonbordin Posted May 10, 2017 Report Share Posted May 10, 2017 So that sprain back in late March at Giants Ridge... Yup broke my ankle. Saw the doc today as things weren't healing. First broken bone ever for me, sigh. Ortho doc tomorrow... Boot tonight. Next season! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
big mario Posted May 17, 2017 Report Share Posted May 17, 2017 (edited) Ouchits. Never really quite hit my stride this season, a late start, coupled with a gimpy ankle on my back foot, IT band and knee pain on my front, leading to a lack of in season exercise and excessive beer consumption,which left me bereft of my usual power, as well as whatever little mobility and flexibility I can muster. Finally broke down and saw the ortho after my last day, got an mri, and found out that some surgery is in my near future. I have a hole in my Achilles on my back foot, its actually a vertical tear, it doesn't affect me structurally, there are no concerns about rupture, as well as a minor tear in my medial meniscus. Kinda left me with a wicked pimp walk coupled with the mobility of a 75 year old jewish man with sciatica issues. I got stuck with 2 big ass needles of cortisone, until I go in at the end of june and get both dealt with at the same time. The ankle is a clean and stich with a walking boot for 2-3 weeks, the meniscus is minor enough that I will be up and back at it in less than a week. No exercise for 4-6 weeks after the operations. Along the way I found I broke my back ankle, most likely back in 05 on a toeside chatter out. Considered it a flesh wound, and kept riding. Some times I am not a very smart man. Doc also recommended that I give up the heavy back squats, since its not really doing my knees any favors at my current level of maturity (chronological, that is) mario Edited May 17, 2017 by big mario 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
patmoore Posted May 17, 2017 Report Share Posted May 17, 2017 (edited) Update. Posted above is the report when I got clotheslined, knocked out, and broke my collarbone the last day of February. I'm happy to report that the Ortho has cleared me for golf! There's still some pain but it's bearable. At its worst the skin kind of took on a colorful hue....... Lookng forward to next season.

Mentally is more concerning. Especially the added stress of your fellow LCI people. Feel better! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
workshop7 Posted December 28, 2017 Report Share Posted December 28, 2017 I got thrown by the MK yesterday. Perfectly groomed, hard packed powder. Fourth run of the day on a steep trail. I was sitting into an aggressive heel side turn and as I started shifting my weight for the transition to toe side, an inconsistency in the snow grabbed the nose and the board unloaded all at once. I was launched, mostly upwards. I my opinion, this is the worst kind of being out of control in that, you're away from the surface with no way to control what comes next. Of course my toe side edge hit first followed very quickly by my chest and head. At first I was worried about a head injury. I soon realized that my shoulder was going to be the problem. My right arm was out in front of me to catch my fall. As I hit the ground it was pushed up over my head. Pain. Lots of pain. No dislocation, but I can't move my arm much today. I don't yet know how serious the injury is. Calling the doc today. Boooooooooo! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
www.oldsnowboards.com Posted December 28, 2017 Author Report Share Posted December 28, 2017 Workshop7 , sorry to hear about this. Sounds like one of those "oh , oh" moments when you go from ripping to moaning in seconds. RICE for now and hope you are not seriously injured!!

ibrussell Posted December 29, 2017 Report Share Posted December 29, 2017 My husband Charlie Russell asked me to post something for him here; he took a tree branch to the abdomen on Friday Dec. 22 while riding powder in the trees at Brundage Mountain in Idaho, and is still in the ICU after two surgeries. He is expected to make a full recovery in roughly 7 weeks, but it'll put a serious damper on some early-season plans. Charlie was deep in the trees when he got injured, and after no one heard him shouting for about 5 minutes, he got up and finished the run, went to the car, put up his board, changed out of his boots and went to the ski patrol room. Five minutes later, as I headed to the car to meet him for lunch, the patrol flagged me down and we were off to the ER. Charlie's injury was a traumatic abdominal wall hernia, and the initial scans showed no internal injuries despite something big and very obviously wrong in the form of a pretty bizarre looking bulge on his stomach. The internal injuries showed up later; he had a portion of his small intestine removed. The current part, recovering from the surgeries, really sucks, but it should get better soon. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lurch Posted December 29, 2017 Report Share Posted December 29, 2017 Thank you for the update. I have spoken with Charlie a couple of times over this forum and he is a real great guy - please pass on my best wishes to him for a speedy recovery. Hope to catch up with him for a session in the future. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

workshop7 Posted December 30, 2017 Report Share Posted December 30, 2017 Speedy recovery to Charlie. My injury is looking more and more like a sprain, nothing serious.

jim_s Posted December 30, 2017 Report Share Posted December 30, 2017 Sorry to hear you got tossed by the MK, workshop7 - I'm waiting for that day to come - the way the little beast loads up, its inevitable, I'm afraid.

My wife and I went there for just a few runs while waiting for one of our kids to finish up with a practice. I was a few hundred yards away from getting in the car, last run. I’ll get back soon. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
