CptSlow 0 Posted January 11, 2011 Share Posted January 11, 2011 So wasted my self night riding, was first time night riding and went up the hooded 3 seater "king tripple" and then smashed some powder pretty much waste deep, then went back on trail and was going too fast, caught an edge and flew through the air, i think an end of my board dug in and my body twisted. Let out the loudest scream of my life that it stopped everyone around me, luckily there were some Japanese riders near me that had a phone and called for help. While waiting my brother decided to ride down to see where they were as i was really cold and shock was setting in from the pain. Ski patrol arrived and as he was getting out of his skis he tripped on my board and it went flying down the hill, the ski patrol and my BF raced after it, ski patrol dived for it while i watched but no luck, the board out ran them both and it disappeared over the hill. Sad and sore i waited as more patrol arrived and then over the brow my board went came a snowmobile with my brother and my board on it, stoked!! I had the option of the sled behind the skier or the snowmobile so i took the snowmobile, got home had some shots of tequila to stop my shaking from teh shock and crashed out. next day was physio and they recommended hospital so off we went to Kutchan. I was really impressed with the service, i was in and out in less then two hours, if that was NZ i would have been waiting for at least 6 hours. I had xrays and a consult and 55mls of blood drained from my knee, it was a build up from the small fracture that i have. They couldnt be sure about ligament damage have to get that checked with an MRI when i get home. I have a brace and some crutches and hopefully get a business class upgrade for me and my BF for flight home!! Worse thing is this is my good knee... Maybe time to take up knitting On another note, has been the best holiday of my life and i love Niseko and Japan Link to post Share on other sites

Jynxx 4 Posted January 12, 2011 Share Posted January 12, 2011 Hey, hope you are not in too much pain. I always carry strong pain killers with me now while boarding.
