Dubbed the “100 yards of yardsale,” this crash took place on the Lakeview to Weasel return at Alpine Meadows on February 28th around 11:45am. I was carrying some speed from the Mountain View to Weasel path and popped off a small bump then landed too far in the backseat.
It was a dual bootout, dual pole ejection full-out yard sale!
I received some minor bruises, but am happy to report that there were no serious injuries. Both skiers pictured in the background checked to make sure that I was okay, which I was because I slid rather than disbursing the energy in a single impact.
Always wear a helmet and ski/ride with a friend. My ski buddy was waiting for me a little lower on the hill, and we were able to text each other to communicate. What safety precautions do you take when skiing?

Thank you!
Skiing is a pretty safe sport if you follow all the safety precautions. It’s actually easier for me to ski than to walk! But yes, very thankful this wasn’t serious. Looking forward to getting back to skiing as physical rehab…it’s such great exercise and gets you outdoors! π
