Would like to take a moment to suggest - be careful out there.

A couple of years ago I skied with a friend in Stratton VT. A simple fall, and the guy snapped his wrist. When I took him to their medical department at the mountain, there were 3 more injured skiers - 2 with fractures, and a young guy waiting to be transferred to the hospital because of a suspected injury to his spleen.

My Brother-in-Law 2 weeks ago had surgery for a fractured Tibia. Feel terribly bad for the guy. It happened on the very first day of their vacation.

Must be careful. Wear helmets.

Maybe I'll even get one myself... ;)
