- Hey, that's the same run I trashed my white Verticals on!!!!!!! What's up
- with that? (aka Cliff Clavin)
-
- I was skiing along and I heard a popping noise which I thought was a ski
- pre-releasing. To my surprise, it was the ski cracking in half! Somehow
- the dragging ski tip made me try to ski directly over a mogul by doing
- splits, with one ski on either side of the mogul - it almost ripped
- my groin - ouch!
