Wow! That was really cool, knowing I lived thru it

So I'm flying down Rolex, a black diamond run, and I'm thinking, "I'm am really flying down this nicely groomed hill". The bottom is coming into view and I think to myself that I'll just keep up my speed and zoom right to the lift line...Mr. Cool.

Overconfidence is not a good thing on the ski slope. Next thing I know, I am losing control, flying thru the air, hitting the snow flat on my back, and discovering that I am not in pain...whew! You cannot really remember a fall like that, but the picture on the right shows that one ski is stuck into the snow, tip up. The only way that could happen is if I did a 360, dug my ski in, ripped out of the ski's and continued head over heel to land on my back.

Well, you know what they say...no pain, no gain. I'm fine so I guess I didn't get much out of that little episode.
