Flashback Friday (part 9) - Snowboarding Crash of the Year

I'm a little late but with good reason, after a week of interactions and negotiations with two people, I sold my car on Friday night.

As I mentioned in a previous FF post, Tim and I enjoyed a wonderful trip to Jackson Hole, WY a few years ago with The Neighbors.

To communicate on the mountain, we each carry a walkie talkie so we know when and where to rendezvous if we get separated. By separated, I mean --I fall so hard off my skis that cries of "yard sale" get screamed at me from the ski lift overhead.

On one trip down the slopes, Chris and I got separated from Caroline and Tim. After stopping mid-mountain, we heard nothing but continuous laughing coming over the walkie talkie. It was Caroline, gasping for breath through the tears. Then silence.

They finally caught up to us and we found out what happened. Tim had decided to jump off trail on his snowboard and had a bit of a battle with a tree stump.

The tree stump won.

Caroline grabbed her camera and took this shot. Please note the location of the snowboard, the tree stump and Tim's head pointing down the mountain.

Caroline was able to help him but not til she took another picture.

Here is explanation of Flashback Friday (FF) and other FF posts.
